Our reviewers can't get enough of utilities. Geeky stuff like
benchmarking, drive partitioning, memory testing. Must-haves like
desktop organizers and security helpers. Microsoft Office
improvements. But we like to have fun, too, so we couldn't resist
some great media software, sci-fi themepacks, and designing our
own cursors. These are just the highlights from the merry month
of May.

This may just be the best partitioning utility/boot disc on the
planet.
