Vista - Diskeeper 10 Vista beta

Last night, Diskeeper posted a new beta of Diskeeper 10 Professional for
Vista. It is available for free download from their website.

Sigh -- life is tough for these companies. They now claim compatibility
with Vista RC1 Build 5600 32-bit. I can't vouch for it. My 32-bit machine
is running build 5728 and the new Diskeeper aborts the install on that
computer with a message that I am not running a supported version of Vista.

The only system I have running 5600 is 64-bit so I can't even try it on that
one.

Still using Auslogic Disk Defrag on both systems, but I *MISS* Diskeeper!

Not good news. I didn't realize it wouldn't run on X64. Glad I didn't
try to install. I guess I need to wait some more. I have build 7728
installed, both X86 and X64.

I upgraded XP with Diskeeper 9 Home to Vista 5728. THe compatibility
check showed no problem so I left DK9 Home on. When Vista had installed
I tried DK9H. Got a MMC error and selected the option to ignore.

DK9H seems to run absolutely fine and Vista hasn't shown up any issues
yet.

Yeah, I've heard that works. The problem for me is that, for various
reasons, I couldn't "upgrade" on either of the two test machines here. I
had to do a clean install. That wiped out Diskeeper Pro 9 and you cannot
re-install it once Vista is installed (it wants to replace the MMC which
would be a disaster).

I have problems even trying to install the DK10Pro demo that's supposed
to be Vista compatible.

It clearly states on the Diskeeper website "Diskeeper 10 Professional now
provides support for Windows® Vista CTP (builds 5600 RC1, 5270, 5308, 5342,
5365, 5381, and 5384) with a free public beta." therefore it's no good for
later builds.

Indeed it (dk 10 beta for vista) does mess up with MMC 3
