Uh... $45? You need to stop paying attention to way-out-of-date listings. Here are the current prices for WinHex, converted to USD courtesy of Yahoo! Finance:
Personal: $53.34 (37.73 EUR)
Professional: $96.98 (69.90 EUR)
Specialist: $271.78 (195.90 EUR)
I give it a 3 because the usability could use a huge boost.

Since when is $45.00 dollars a Kings Ransom?

It costs a king's ransom and the interface needs work and the author is a bit arrogant, but nonetheless it's by far the best hex editor going.

IMHO still the best tool for cloning hard drives, i must admit that is the main reason i use it for, this and some hex editing. i rate it 5 because of it's unbelievable features.

I'm happy with it; it does do what it's supposed to and very well.

Nice try, but I'm not the author of WinHex.
Show me one freeware or open source software title that does ALL that WinHex does, and that does it as well as WinHex does it.
Just one.
I'll be waiting.
Speaking of the author of WinHex, he's doing nicely, and sells more licenses than he can keep up with. This is because he sells to people, companies, and government agencies who have a real need for good, stable software. For these users, OSS just doesn't cut it, with endless sub-version-1 (0.x) releases, stability problems, lack of definitive project timelines and author commitment, and lack of support.
"I prefer free!" just doesn't cut the turd.

I don't even know how a customer's nationality has anything to do with a software review but maybe you should try selling your trashware through a nonEnglish-speaking website.
That people want cheaper software is a given.
Anyone wants cheap products.
The price for this buggy software is hefty and has lead to its doom. Plus with opensource everywhere the end of many such projects is inevitable.
Addressing your disdain for the US: good luck
selling your products in other countries.
Oh my bad, nations in the eastern hemisphere lead the world is software piracy so there goes your argument.
Moral: dont bite the hand that feeds you( dont badmouth honest customers ).
Oh, my bad again, you already have.
Hope you have a day job. OSS is the way to go.

"I can't afford it; therefore, it sucks."
Suddenly I realize why the US is locked into an awful two-party system.
WinHex is very useful but it's a pain to use for data recovery. It's just nowhere near as convenient as utilities like Recuva. (Whether it works better or worse I cannot say.) And I despise selecting a menu item, only to be told that I'm not in the elite crowd who purchased a Specialist license (or higher). If it's not a function available to me, HIDE IT. Or am I still running a demo version, even after I've paid?

i quite like this
you have good control over hidden entries
made to the hd sectors, that will not go away after i delete the partition, make a new
partition and then do a full format of the drive
entries made by 3dsmax and photoshop (in sector 32)
