It seems as though the Basic Version does less than windows Task Manager that is Installed with Windows.

The Basic Version doesn't include these.
According to http://www.advscheduler.com/compare.html
Run tasks without user password entry
Run Tasks on Holidays (when did a computer care if it was a holiday?)
Several Schedules for each task
Several Shortcuts for a task
Start task if user is logged on

This is only some of the things the Basic Version doesn't have that the PRO version does.

Cool - now I can automate the process of coming here every day, 30 seconds after the giveaway starts, and writing "Make it portable" in the suggestions box (even when there is a portable version on offer)!

Sorry, it's not even funny anymore - get over it.

Installed easily on Vista 64-bit.

I only wanted a popup reminder, so this review is limited to that.

This program is easier to use than Windows Task Scheduler. The new task wizard is very helpful and clear and it was easy to get started right away.

There are many date intervals to choose for a task to run (minutely, hourly, weekly, etc), but I didn't see an option to have it run several days in a month, every month (ex. every 26th-30th). As far as I could find, it would only run on one day in a month. A workaround for that would be to schedule a new task for every day. Windows Task Manager will let you check days on a calendar and batch days together.

The GUI is simple but looks low quality. I don't need Win7 gloss on everything (though for $40, it would be nice), but anti-aliasing on the images and tab text would improve the appearance a lot. It's functional, but ugly.

Overall, at least for scheduling popup reminders, it's pretty good, especially for people like me (I'm not good with computers). Probably not worth $40, but I didn't really put it through its paces.

If I wasn't familiar with Windows Task Scheduler (which is tricky to use for first-timers but a good program that comes with the computer) I'd say this program is great. As it is, I'd rate it "good enough".

Uninstalled easily.

#10- Arnie Anvir is a Task Manager, the GAOTD is a Task Scheduler, completely different functionality.

BTW since GAOTD says price is normally $39.95, it would be the Basic version offered here, as Pro version is $59.95. The developer website indicates they have 64 bit version too, don't know if that is available as a GAOTD today.

Is this only tha basic version or the profesional one? I hope it´s the profesional version, because the basic one is to limited. I just had a look of the comparing dates. Sorry for this short comment and I understand that I will get negative punktuation here, but I prefer to know more details before I install something which offers less functionality. I don´t like to play with the "life" of my pc. Great day to all.
