Pros
*‘Snaps’ or ’tiles’ open windows together side-by-side
*Windows can be resized to different sizes or all the same size
*Allows you to drag and drop where you want the windows to be placed
*Offers both automatic and manual window placement
*Supports multiple monitor setups
*Supports keyboard shortcuts
*Can take snapshots of 8 different window configurations that you can restore at any time. These window layouts can be restored with just one click.

Cons
*Most of their ‘automatic’ setups are not worth using
*Can be frustrating to get windows where you want them and at a ‘usable’ size

I'm just going to make some general comments for those unfamiliar with these types of utilities. Some people like these sorts of utilities that save and restore window locations and maybe launch the apps. I like the simpler utilities like NTWind WindowSpace that allow you to easily size and position windows on-the-fly, but I no longer use them. Win7 has some built-in support, yet some other window management features were eliminated. Of course, Win8 has its super-crippled window management in the Win8 UI. A lot depends upon your number of monitors and resolutions, higher-resolution displays benefit more.

That review is for version 1.3, what is different about 1.4? There does not seem to be anything on the website like a changelog. Also no statement about Windows 8 compatibility?

I've tried this software few months ago and than uninstalled it after 30 minutes. It does not restore the windows at the same place after a shut down. They overlap and move around at random places. Creates restore points after every new window closed and does it over and over again. It slowed down my laptop and wasted over 500MB in creating useless restore points that you have no control over it.

Thing installs and registers just fine, works with dual monitors, but I hate to say it but for the kind of work I do this isn't a productivity boost for me. I can see how it might be for some, but it just doesn't fit my more dynamic workflow, I don't ever know that only a certain amount of windows are going to be open

The little utils "I Use for productivity" are as follows.

Custom Classic Theme (XP - ProLCD/Panther), on win7 /CLASSIC shell+(windowblinds My beloved proLCD won't run on it!)

Background is always either Black or Dark Brushed metal of some type

Allsnap - XP/7
Winroll - XP/7
process hacker ALL/win
Clockster XP (only XP)

I shell script the services using "sc" in windows(ALL) and tune what runs at boot, the tools needed: VB6, batch file programming.

ex:
Automatic Updates and BITS are off until I actually want to do updates
ex2: Print is off until I turn it on.

I might not be the smartest in the world, but my boxes are snappy quick and have 10+ years worth of debugging wisdom. I always meet my deadlines on time or ahead of time. Hardware failures don't kill me anymore cause I clone the drives 1:1, and buy 2 ea. motherboard, 2ea sound card, 2ea capture card, 2ea video card, 2ea hard disk.

If I was going to KEEP this and experiment, I would disable the HKCU/Run key so she doesn't start at windows boot.

Sadly, I will be uninstalling this one, cause I like to keep things nice and CLEAN.

The other thing I noticed (I always notice these things) when INSTALLING is the use of some either static or webkit quicktime DLL files. Without doing further research I know these files
QtCore4.dll
QtGui4.dll
QtNetwork4.dll
QtSolutions_SingleApplication-2.6.dll

need updating when Quicktime is updated for Security exploits. (Catch 22 for un-updatable program, though you could probably copy these files from something else that uses QT. Now I guess it could be argued that this program doesn't have actual files flowing through it like a streaming audio app, or photo editor, it CAN be a risk if the DLL's become exploitable and the REMOTE attacker knows the PATH to these files.

More info here.

Definitely QT WILL be exploited in the future as in the past

SO anyways, like I said, I'm just a dummy..
