Diff and Merge tools for Windows

Compare It! is a shareware file compare and merge tool, and probably worth supporting if you can’t find someone to pay $129 for a copy of Araxis Merge. Yeah, for work it’s probably fine to keep installing the evaluation copy of Araxis Merge whenever you need to merge a big source code tree, for example, but for small jobs, like merging two versions of an ImageReady-sliced HTML page, you want something you don’t need to re-install every time you dust it off.
Compare It! seems to have picked up Araxis Merge’s use of softer colors, which is a definate improvement over the Windiff-style garishness of various freeware efforts I remember.
Why am I merging ugly generated HTML pages? Because I’m preparing an update of Guy’s site
