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
NixOS
Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration. Learn how to make reproducible, declarative, and reliable systems. Nix builds packages in isolation from each other. This ensures that they are reproducible and don't have undeclared dependencies, so if a package works on one machine, it will also work on another. 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 -
