FontAgent Pro / Font Explorer X
FontAgent Pro is still a beta almost one year after this review and I've experienced a number of programming glitches, from the program not accepting the location I provided for the library to inconsistent background colors and truncated text in a text box to the program rejecting all of my Adobe PS1 fonts as corrupt. I would also not like it that FEP insists on making (redundant / duplicate = bad) copies of all of my fonts, that is if it accepted them in the first place! I'm really just looking for an ATM replacement and though it might improve, FEP is not an ATM replacement at this time.
I was inclined to try Font Explorer X due to my respect for Linotype, but that program is no longer available as either a beta or a released version, though apparently the released version is due "soon".
Fonts for Windows
You missed the better options for organizing fonts for a Windows machine. Neuber software's Typograf, Proxima's FontExpert, and High-Logic's Main Type all offer font management options at a reasonable price.
Linotype's Explorer program caused a major computer meltdown on my XP Pro machine that I almost didn't recover from.
I use Typograf. It has an ugly interface but the features are outstanding and make my workflow much smoother.
