Pros:
A much nicer more over viewable and usable user/interface Automatic and self-adjusting defragmentation in the background Fully Windows Vista Compatible 5 different defragmentation modes
Cons:
It would be nice to get more information and advice after analyzing a volume. No pagefile defragmentation. For some users the price tag could be a bit of a problem.
Review:

First of all, I will concentrate me on version 10 of O&O Defrag since this is the latest and most up to date version. It is also the version you are most likely to buy.

With its release of the new O&O Defrag 10 various new futures where added. What catches the eye immediately is that the user-interface is completely changed, nice shiny icons and more over viewable and usable.

The Automatic and self-adjusting defragmentation in the background (OneButtonDefrag) has been changed in various ways. Is now able to adjust it selves to assure your hard disk is running smoothly and is giving you the best possible performance.

The Screensaver Mode remained. Although I don´t use this future because I want to control what and when O&O Defrag defrags my volume. It is a very nice and exclusive future though, you won't find it in any comparable program.

O&O Defrag Offers five defragmentation methods so you can select the right method to fit the scenario. Although you have to have some knowledge before this function becomes really handy. I like this very much. There is always the OneButtonDefrag for the basic user.

The 44.95 USD price tag is a bit high but due to the nice functions and excellent usability of this program and taken into account that the most advanced version of diskeeper has a pricetag of 99.95 I think it is worth the money. Perfect disk pro from Raxco is 10 USD cheaper but in my opinion a lesser choice.

Conclusion:

Although I miss the future to defrag the page file and you get very little information after analyzing your volume, head to head with Diskeeper by Executive Software and Raxco’s PerfectDisk it is in my opinion the west choice.
