If like us you’re pretty fed up with the way system maintenance apps dump on the 64-bit Windows user, you’ll appreciate this.
Iolo (eye-oh-low), those nice American chaps who make System Mechanic - a reviewer’s fave – will be churning out a 64-bit version of the flagship app just in time for Christmas. We reckon it’s the holiday season that’s encroaching and they're feeling so warm inside they’re flogging the 64-bit version at the same price as the 32-bit version.
Officially, this will be version 8.5 of System Mechanic, but you will be able to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.5 at no added cost. That’s expected, though, as it is basically a subscription-based application, much like your run-of-the-mill anti-virus.
For those who don’t know any better, System Mechanic is an all-in-one system utility suite that keeps your Windows purring along at little to no user effort. It repairs, corrects and otherwise speeds-up your Windows install.
It won’t un-break Vista, but it’ll do a good job at removing a few rubbish system settings and eliminate chronic nags (‘cept dandruff).
Should reach the web-store later this month. µ
