Mike Howard I use this tool everyday in my development work. The most used piece of software I have.

ehab This is a must have for developers and power users.

Jon Koerner Agree - truly a must-have. I too use this multiple times every day. They have a Std and a Pro version, both for Windows & Linux platforms. I got the dual-platform Pro version.

Mike G The best of it's breed IMO. Powerful, well-designed and easy to use for simple or complex comparison/synchronization projects. I even use automated Beyond Compare scripts as part of a load-balancing infrastructure for a Web application that wasn't designed for for load balancing!

Read MoreJ S I Gots too agree I've used this wonderful program and found it was fantastic EXCEPT that it didn't copy over the exact file/folder date and time onto a different harddrive or Partition ...

But when I asked the Scooter Software people about this they took my concerns to heart and created the TOUCH facility which can now be found on the right-click context menu and although its slightly confusing to look at first it does exactly what I need which is to copy the exact time and date (but you must carry out a refresh first).

NOW when are they going to offer their program on Bitsdujour????

Mitch Kite Beyond Compare was originally offered when BDJ was still in its infancy. I picked up a license then and would like to buy another license at a discounted price. I have been waiting anxiously for Beyond Compare to return.

D T I have been running version 2 for over 5 years. I haven't even looked to see what has changed. It saved me a couple of times this week alone to help rebuild some missing source code that I inherited.

I will need to upgrade soon though. I'm doing more development work on Windows 7, and the old version can't put a context menu in Windows Explorer, which is a major loss of functionality.

Harald Grill This piece of software saved my ass a couple of times, I use it every day and still find new ways of using it. A *must* if you ask me.

K X Still no sign of a discount for Beyond Compare on Bits, but after all the glowing reviews in this thread, I've been demoing it and it's better than any similar program I've tried so far.

Rick Dekkard It would be awesome to have a discount for such a great piece of software. Looking forward to having this deal.

ej User I use Beyond Compare as a manual backup utility also. It is a phenomenal app. I have the Enterprise version that includes both platforms. I LOVE this app!

Richard User Nice product!

Paulo User It's the best app to compare the contents in folders (files) that I find until now (my first intention) !... but it has much more functions to explore!

Brian W Ah, Beyond Compare has never been on bdj. :(

Erik Sawyer One of the best pieces of software a developer can have. I use it almost every day.
