BitKinex
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Messenger-like interface is brilliant  qright

BitKinex version 2.4
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 4

An FTP client with an innovative messenger-like interface, including easily customizable default local folder for each site or as the program calls it "data source" - these two features alone are worth giving Bitkinex a fair shot. 2.4 has provided a variety of quality updates, making this a great everyday use client for webmasters and those logging into many different sites on an ongoing basis. I use Bitkinex daily, and although the basic ftp features are similar to the rest of the offerings in this category, what sets it far apart in my mind is the ability to open multiple data sources, perform fxp transfers(server to server transfers) and the intuitive messenger style site manager interface that is familiar to any MSN, Yahoo, or AOL messenger user. One small setback, that causes me to open Filezilla from time to time is that the CHMOD only supports single file editing (hopefully we'll see this resolved in the new version).

UltraMon
  • Free Trial ($39.95)
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  The best dual monitor solution!  qright

UltraMon version 2.5
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I've tested out many of the other dual monitor solutions, including UltraMon and I have to say this product is quality and honestly has more features than I ever expected when I set out to find a taskbar for my second monitor - why WindowsXP didn't have this feature built in is beyond me, but alas thank God for UltraMon. Not only does it provide a task bar with very similar features to the standard windows task bar (i.e. task bar can be resized, and the buttons on the taskbar function very similar to the real task bar - many of these programs don't allow for that) it also provides stretching of wallpapers across both monitors, or two different wallpapers if you prefer. Also the additional features mentioned in the description work beautifully - definitely the cream of the crop application for dual monitor (or triple monitor) support. But don't take my word for it, the trial is fully functional for a limited time - try it out for yourself.
