Th3 N3w W041d 04d34 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Before I begin I would like to extend my gratitude to the programmers and dedicated developers who put sincere amounts of time, effort, and hard work in making software like this and distributing it for free...(run on please excuse my English) ******************************************************************************** ****************************************** THANK YOU PIRIFORM Now to speak business. I have often been told or called "crazy" as a tech savy individual I push technology 100% and I always try to innovate great ideas. Without getting into to much detail I will lay out "an idea". Kepping this in mind remember it is only an idea* that I was wondering what anyone would have to say about it. Q What if all 3 software were combined into 1; I'm probably not the only one out there thinking about this nor am I the only one out there that sees this as a work in progress. Not to be a pain in the a** but; the only crutch with software now a days is the lack of suites being offer instead of distributing individual softwares. I have opften wanderd why companies do this besides obvious reasons* and if it would be more efficient to compile these great works into 1? I know how difficult if not merely impossible it might be but.."it is often the impossible that is possible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Augeas Posted December 5, 2008 Moderators Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think that many people would prefer to have smaller speedy applications that do what they do well. I don't use Defraggler, for instance, and being old school don't want bloaty stuff (AVG 6, 4mb. AVG 8, 50 mb). I know, what about Windows. But I have to use their stuff.

Keithuk Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Welcome to Piriform Th3 N3w W041d 04d34.

As mentioned is makes the installation package three times as big. They don't like increasing the individual packages by a few kb.

Th3 N3w W041d 04d34 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Welcome to Piriform Th3 N3w W041d 04d34. Not a good idea, Defraggler doesn't work on Win9x/ME. As mentioned is makes the installation package three times as big. They don't like increasing the individual packages by a few kb. Thanks Keithuk but realistically speaking don't you think if it could be done it would be more efficient?. I mean how many times have you looked for an anti virus software only to find it only covers viruses instead of the whole works? (Spyware,rootkits,malware,worms, trojans, etc...and the list goes on..) IDK Personally speaking I feel as though it becomes really cumbersome having individual pieces of software when if possible* all could be combined into 1. Do not get me wrong I perfectly understand where you are coming from for I too have experience with the programing world and I know every KB counts but if it were indeed possible would it be for better or worse?

YoKenny Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Look at where AVG, McAfee and Norton are now. Big enough to fill the Titanic and we all know what happed to that super ship. I prefer eating with a knife and fork sitting at a table chewing my food with my mouth closed not a pitch fork and shovel lying flat on my back with my mouth wide open.

And it has a handy small size (if you chose the slim version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krit86lr Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Being that the programs can be scheduled to 'run' I really don't see the need. I like them being separate. However, Recuva as an option to be installed with CCleaner might not be a bad idea. One could uncheck the option of course.

WhiteWolf5 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I think what Th3 N3w W041d 04d34 really is after is a central management console. You can make a Piriform Console that allows you to manage all apps from one centralized location. You just pick which component(s) you want to install. If you don't want a particular component, you don't install it. Also, depending on how you chose to implement such a console, you can make each component a separate installer so users only have to download the components they want. Personally, I'm happy with just CCleaner but I can see the merit in such a setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
