Re: Nero 8 Ultra - anyone using it?
I am downloading the trial right now actually. Thanks for your information,
might as well stick with 7. Anyway, most of the functionality provided by
NERO and Roxio though can be done with the built in tools in Vista, so its
pretty much a waste of time upgrading to every new version, every year!
