Current version is 2.3.2...

This program is no longer available for the Windows platform. Dead link!

Last version is 4.0.1.1, which is quite different from 1.0.0.0 displayed here...

Current version is 8.0.11.4942, not 8.11. Thanks for keeping us informed!

...and another special offer from Softpedia! Official site has $24.95 listed as the price of this program. I am asking myself why...

Price changed to 29$ more than 6 months ago...:P

Guess what? Price is 30Euros, which is quite a jump from the 25$ displayed here...

Quote from the official website:
"2007-8-23 | We are happy to announce that, because of internal optimizations, we are able to reduce the price of X-Setup Pro to 19.95 USD!"

Do we get a bargain from Softpedia or what? :P

I only have to say two product's names and their prices:
Total Commander, 34$
Frigate, 39$

XYplorer may have some good points, but the fact that it doesn't have side by side panels makes it like a one-wheel vehicle reaching 400mph...that doesn't sound too easy to drive, isn't it?

This is my opinion about the program and I don't have to adjust this rating, because this is what I still think about this program, and maybe in the future I'll have a side by side review of file managers to include XYplorer too...

Considering that this is a free version, I can't see why rate it less than excellent when considering the price/value factor. After all it is a decent software and doesn't bug you to buy the commercial licence at all while using it.
This program has that big manual so that users should read it. While writing the review I faced some problems but the manual cleared things out. Once you understand some things about the way it works, what can do and what can't do, it may prove useful.
