MyDefrag
MyDefrag
MyDefrag is a free defragmentation program for all Windows systems starting from Windows 2000. MyDefragGUI is the graphical user interface for the comfortable handling of this program. MyDefrag defragments very fast, has several optimization strategies, offers the highest possible data security, and can also defragment external storage media. However, you can input options only by a script grammar. With MyDefragGUI the operation becomes very easy. Beyond that, it has some additional functions e.g. planning the defragmentation, storing the personal settings, and configuring the screensaver. Runs under Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/MCE/Vista/X64/Server 2008/7. MyDefrag has to scan all the files on the disk to determine if they are fragmented and where they are. At the moment it has to use very inefficient Microsoft function calls, in the future I hope to speed this up by directly reading the MFT and FAT.Starting Price: Free -

Puran Defrag
Puran Software
The files saved on your hard disk will become fragmented for various reasons. Because of this, your hard disk is extra busy gathering data from different fragments located at various locations on the hard disk in order to access your files. This process degrades your hard disk performance and overall system speed which gets gradually worse over time. In addition, the read/write speed of your hard disk varies by location and the files on your hard disk are randomly distributed. Therefore, you lose any potential speed gains from other system optimization programs. Puran Defrag provides the solution! Puran Defrag is a very simple disk defragmenter that will defrag the files and optimize your system, collecting all the fragments of a file and putting them together, as well as moving some frequently used files and all directories to faster disk areas. This process boosts your hard disk performance and thus overall system speed.Starting Price: Free -

GetMyDrivers
GetMyDrivers
A fully functioning computer setup consists of the computer hardware and its accessories. Without these accessories, there is very little that can be done with the computer. Some of these accessories are external such as printers, external speakers, and keyboards while other accessories are internal such as video cards and sound cards. For a computer to work effectively, these accessories have to be able to communicate with the computer's operating system; accessories that are not able to communicate with the computer operating system will not function normally. A device driver is a software or program that tells a computer's operating system how to communicate with an accessory. A device driver can be considered a translator of sorts, dictating how data exchange occurs between a computer operating system and its accessories. Every computer accessory has its own device driver which must be installed before the accessory can be used.Starting Price: $19.99 per year -

MemOptimizer
CapturePointStone
The Problem: Almost 100% of software programs contain "memory leaks". Over time these leaks cause less and less memory to be available on your PC. Whenever a Windows based program is running, it's consuming memory resources - unfortunately many Windows programs do not "clean up" after themselves and often leave valuable memory "locked", preventing other programs from taking advantage of it and slowing your computer's performance! In addition, memory is often locked in pages so if your program needed 100 bytes of memory, it's actually locking up 2,048 bytes (a page of memory)! Until now, The only way to free up this "locked" memory was to reboot your computer. Not anymore, with MemOptimizer™! MemOptimizer frees memory from the in-memory cache that accumulates with every file or application read from hard-disk.Starting Price: $14.99 one-time payment -

Nix makes it trivial to share development and build environments for your projects, regardless of what programming languages and tools you’re using. Nix ensures that installing or upgrading one package cannot break other packages. It allows you to roll back to previous versions and ensures that no package is in an inconsistent state during an upgrade. Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it treats packages like values in purely functional programming languages such as Haskell, they are built by functions that don’t have side effects, and they never change after they have been built.Starting Price: Free -

PowerShellGet
Microsoft
PowerShellGet is a module with commands for discovering, installing, updating, and publishing PowerShell artifacts like modules, DSC resources, role capabilities, and scripts. The Find-Command cmdlet finds PowerShell commands such as cmdlets, aliases, functions, and workflows. Find-Command searches modules in registered repositories. For each command found by Find-Command, a PSGetCommandInfo object is returned. The PSGetCommandInfo object can be sent down the pipeline to the Install-Module cmdlet. Install-Module installs the module that contains the command. DSC resources can be located using the parameters Tag and RequiredVersion. Tag displays the current version of every resource that contains the specified tag in the repository. RequiredVersion needs the ModuleName parameter and the Name parameter is optional. The Name and ModuleName parameters limit the output. Use the AllVersions parameter to display a DSC resource's available versions.Starting Price: Free -
