    Are you saying that EAZ-FIX is always ahead than Rollback Rx? (EAZ-FIX 2692876302 is greater than RBX 2692839437)

    No ... or maybe, Yes

    Perhaps not so much "ahead" as "different".

    This thread was started on Feb 6. My download was on Feb 6.

    I guess we can't really say that the Thread start and Panagiotis' download were on the same day. (Panagiotis started this thread.)

    But then , as I see it - there Must be some difference in "revisions/builds" if for no other reason than to "tune" a file toward one company or the other.

    The Graphics and Help File, at least - have to specify either Horizon or the EAZ folks.

    It's all a bit confusing!

    I agree.

    This is one of those deliberate mysteries laid out for us the customer to guess at i suppose, although i see no reason for it except one of the two company's hold higher rights then the other in public information releases.

    No matter. As much as i was at one time encouraged with RollbackRx, now that i've went out on a limb for EAZ-FIX and it's 100% stable, theres no complaint or disappointment to offer from this end on this program and thats the way i intend it to stay. LoL

    In the interests of adding Fuel to the Fire ....

    Looking at the "Ending Words" of both companies' User Manuals, I found the following:

    _____________________________________________

    Definite Similarity at this point!

    Although, there was actually quite a bit of difference in the body of the documents. The reason for that is obvious from the following:

    EAZ-FIX was about version 8.0 and copyrighted 2007

    RxRollback was about the 7.2 version and copyrighted 2005
    (6/14/2006 update per their web site.)

    It appears that the EAZ-FIX Company may be keeping their documentation more up-to-date.

    And it shows in the product's reliability i might add. I dunno, but it's breaking my brain trying to get a definite handle on just who holds higher rights to what in this duplicate personality issue regarding these 2.

    But one thing stands out very plain, EAZ-FIX performed where RollbackRx did not and i trial them both in the same week, hence EAZ-FIX for me was a no brainer after comparison.

    Or it could just be a fluke that Rollback Rx didn't work for you in that instance.

    For example, I tried a totally different program on my computer recently, which didn't work. Many others said it works fine on their machine. I had another go, and guess what, it worked fine second time around.

    There's nowt so strange than computers & their programs working on some machines, but not on others though.

    True, bit if you do a search on the forums here you'll find a hefty list of users complaints stretching all the way back to last summer. But i'm not in the business of making points for or against either, just pointing out the raw FACTS!

    Okay since I haven't followed Rollback Rx since its v7 and never moved on to version 8 because of the known bugs. Would you say that the fixes for this version of Rollback Rx are already fixed in that EAZ-FIX version you guys are talking about?

    As, I see it Horizondatasys and EazSolutions are affiliates companies. Horizondatasys seems as the reseller branch and the a little higher price of Rollback RX from the other resellers of EAZ-FIX or the other similar products seems to justify my speculation.

    You can buy any of them and then use your serial number on Rollback RX or EAZ-FIX. The activation number is given from an IP that is a server of EAZSolutions. :D :cool:

    The only thing that change is from where you will get the support.

    ps. the different build numbers (of Rollback and EAZ-FIX) do not mean necessarily that one or the other is more up to date. If the developers "fix" first the Rollback Version and then the EAZ Version is only logical that the number build of EAZ will be a bit greater from Rollback's and viceversa.

    As often as you refer to some "list" of, or "many" troubled users, it should be your responsibility to produce that list. As many as you claim there are, it shouldn't take any time at all to produce a lengthy list. Just stick with ver 8.1, since anything earlier would be hand-picked faulty data.

    You are the foremost and most vocal opponent of RollBack, and from all I've seen it's based upon nothing more than an emotional outburst from you after you messed something up in your install. That and your claim of some "consensus" of disappointment from "many" users is the only evidence offered.

    I've used RollBack Rx 8.1 for months, with no problem. I've stated that I'd like to see them address the defrag issues, but then it would be no different with EAZ Fix. Since your "rock solid" evaluation of products depends on how it performs with your setup, I can claim "rock solid" for Rollback due to my use of it too.

    You can use the forum search function and find plenty of them.

    As much as you seem to suggest i'm some fierce opponant of RX you should read a little closer all of my posts.

    No one is been more enthusiastic over great expectations for RollbackRx then myself, but in retrospect i also retain the same equal right to bring forward just the opposite with as much complaint when issues are evident, reported openly, and left to go unaddressed for months and/or many versions.

    Simply enough put , Rx is proven to been a flawed product for quite some time for many. I didn't go out on a limb for a Rollback Clone just for the fun of it in some expectation of an issue to make another gripe over. I sincerely hoped against hope that EAZ-FIZ would prove different and overshadow the negative results experienced by Rollback, and to my surprise & complete satisfaction i might add, i've not been disappointed in the least.

    Easter, those threads where all started from the same persons that did not do anything than repeat themselves!

    Peter and me, with different tests, had replicated and verified those problems, notified the developer and he fixed them.

    So... what is the meaning of bringing it over and over and over again? o_O :mad:

    p.s.1. The version of EAZ-Fix that you use is problem free because of those tests and of the prompt fix from the developer!!!

    p.s.2. Can we please stop bushing around one product or another and concentrate to help each other? ;)

    :doubt:

    They constitute your evidence. It's your responsibility to run the search. My responsibility is to discount your claim until you show the evidence. Suggesting that I do the search is a waste of time.

    And also suggesting i do the search for you and again rehash issues i'd rather not have to be reminded of again accomplishes nothing either.

    My responsibility is to raise concerns when comparisons contradict each other, and they do, or at least they have.

    So i could also ask are you certain that the recent RollbackRx is trouble-free now?

    I don't think that matters anymore if they been resolved for you, for me EAZ-FIX was working fine when RollbackRx wasn't, so any arguement to the contrary is become pointless now.

    Suggesting i do the search is also wasting my time and my table is full enough as it is.

    But if it pleases your ego that i'm being evasive so be it, but there are more pressing matters then to drudge up old problems as comparison if they already been adequately addressed to customer's satisfaction.

    Be it Rollback or EAZ-FIX, they have their fair share of happy and unhappy users and therefore there is no need to list them. Even the crtitically acclaim but now dead FDISR also has her own fair share of happy and unhappy users too.:cool:

    As long as you elect to use Rollback Rx or EAZ-FIX, their eventual developer which both software lead to the same source wins !:D

    Ok, fair or unfair enough negatives have been loudy voiced and repeatedly defended so let's now focus on the delights enjoyed with Rx's latest release.

    I for one would be curious to learn from long time supporters what they find as the most satisfying improvements they take in it now.

    Easter,

    As Rollback and EaziFix are exactly the same,which has been comprehensively discussed in the past-the same improvements which you yourself are constantly praising in Eazifix apply equally to RBx.

    The only negatives to have been voiced about the current version of RBx are from you,as you know!

    edit- this thread,which is about Rollback-went completely off topic comparing it with EF,which gets very boring and tiring.

    Nah....I know of a few others who has been extremely negative about RBx. Compared to theirs, the comments voiced here are mild.*puppy*

    But not the current version!
    Plenty for version 7
    Proof required,who are they?
    Chris had a minor computer related problem,others have been satisfied.
    I have tested both.
    Wouldnt call Easters comments mild.

    Means absolutely nothing-some body had problems-big deal!
    Related to his own setup or lack of knowledge somewhere along the line.
    I have used it without any problems at all.
    This is getting silly.
    Anyway if that happened with RBx it also would have happened with EaziFix-thats the crux of the matter,as they are the same-prove otherwise!

    You've asked for proof and I've given you proof.
    Now you are saying that the problem is related to his own setup.

    Let each of us who elect to use RBx or EAZ-FIX without any problem and remained as is. :ninja:
