Nero 7 sucks horribly. I mean it actually looks ugly, the aqua theme. I love the nice clean interface of Nero 6. They probably should've stopped at 5 and not included the stupid wizard thingy.

Nero is awesome, you can burn cd's, with plugins you can rip audio to mp3, I can drag just about any video file into it, and have it make a VCD/DVD with no effort on my part. Also I can make my lables in it. As far is being bloatware, I have plenty of space, and it loads up hella quick. I like how I can do everything inside of one program. Sure, I can get free programs that do everything Nero does, but I will have to install 5 different ones, bleh!

Nero is teh r0x0rs!?!

How does it have no future. Seems to me they wrote a program to burn CDs. Then DVDs came along, and it can burn those now. Soon HD-DVD and/or Blueray will come out, and it will be updated to handle those.

If it includes the Nero Recode update to include High Profile and also interlaced video for H264 encoding, then it looks good to me.

What stinks is that v6 probably won't be updated to support it and if we want to stay with Nero, we'll have to go along with this new bloated ugliness...

It's not that bloated, it turns out to be all the languages and tutorials that are packed on the 2 cd's. I installed everything and it came to 242 megs. Nero App List

I use growfs and I like it :p

Just kidding. I actually use the built in databurner for gnome. But I bet it uses growfs.
