Although it does more things than Windirstat, most of the things it does are not really what this tool would be used for. Personally I think the coloured squares aren't really confusing and give a nice quick visual clue as to the relative sizes - great when presenting disk space usage to clients who do not understand the difference between Mb's and Gb's but understand when 50% of a server's hard drive is taken up with a users movie or mp3 collection. Thanks for the feedback though. Yes it claims to be faster but it’s not free. Although it does more things than Windirstat, most of the things it does are not really what this tool would be used for.

Ron - thanks for the suggestion - I couldn't remember the name of that program - that was it. I also tried jdisk (requires java) but it took forever to scan, needs java and the interface for the results was not as useful for me.
