Stardock
has released the public beta of TweakVista. TweakVista is a utility that enables
users to optimize the performance and behavior of Microsoft® Windows Vista. The
program has been designed to allow both casual, non-technical users to safely
use it as well as contain a host of advanced features for power users to dig
into the internals of Windows Vista. The feature-packed utility includes
features such as:
- Security Handling. Users can now easily and safely
adjust the way Windows handles security prompting including the new UAC
(User Account Control)
- Memory Optimization. TweakVista knows which
start-up services different types of users will typically use and offers
recommendations on what services to disable. Users can easily switch between
different profiles (including the default) based on their needs to maximize
performance and memory use.
- Resource Control. Tweak Vista has several features for
keeping an eye on and flagging programs that use excessive amounts of
resources (memory, CPU, or system handles) as well as integrating seamlessly
with built in hardware diagnostic reports.
- Start-Up Management. TweakVista not only will
display and enable users to control what programs are loading on start-up
but will identify in plain English what these programs do. Internet
integration in the software allows users to comment on these processes
within the program to one another.
- Performance Assessments. TweakVista uses the new
Windows Vista assessment features to benchmark nearly every aspect of a
user’s PC and allow them to submit their results for comparison with other
users of similar or upgraded hardware.
- TweakVista.com integration. TweakVista partners the
software development skills of Stardock with the on-going tweak expertise of
TweakVista.com to provide an on-going live database of helpful tips and
tricks for maximizing the Windows Vista experience.
Additional features are being added during the course of the beta based on
user feedback.
“TweakVista has been designed not just for power users but also for every-day
computer users,” said Brad Wardell, President & CEO of Stardock Corp. “We know a
lot of people who are the family/neighborhood ‘computer guy’ and this program
really is for them to use themselves or to hand out to people so that they can
help fix and manage their own computers safely.”
“TweakVista is the perfect companion for TweakVista.com by providing our
visitors with an alternative to manually tweaking their systems.” said Steve
Sinchak, founder of TweakVista.com
