Open source:

In a POSIX world, fcron (http://fcron.free.fr/description.php) seems
to be the leader of the cron pack.

Now, if you want something that high end geeks use, you might try
Torque (http://www.clusterresources.com/pages/products/torque-resource-manager.php).
 Don't let its cluster capabilities scare you off, it is nicely
packaged for Linux home use. ;)

But, you are looking for a Windows util, right?  How about Job
Scheduler (http://www.sos-berlin.com/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=osource_scheduler_introduction_en.htm)?
  Probably more what you had in mind, and you will be using Babelfish,
if you need to read much of the documentation and don't read German.


Commercial:

How about A-Auto's Windows job scheduler
(http://www.bspi.com/products/aauto.html)?  Sounds decent, but I have
no idea about price.

You did say premium, right?  (Can't resist) Take a look at Moab
(http://www.clusterresources.com/pages/products/moab-cluster-suite/workload-manager.php).
 It is pretty reasonable per processor, and it even does Windows! :D
OK, a bit of overkill, but if you have a bit of money and time to kill
and drive an over sized V-8 (V-10?) equipped SUV, I think you will
like this one! ;)
