Nero 6 vs Nero 7

[FaceMouth]

I was considering Nero 7 for about 5 minutes. I looked on the website to try and compare with 6 and just from reading about 7 I didn't see anything new that seemed worth the cost. I like Nero for all the opitons and it doesn't try to take over every aspect of my computer. Even though I don't use a lot of the options right now, it's nice to have them available if I do need them. It's a shame Nero 7 is just a bloated version of 6 (I had a feeling about this, and these reviews really convinced me).

I understand companies are trying to make money, it's sad there is so much good software that is ruined with bloat. Adobe reader sucks for the average user, but at least this can be slimmed down a great deal. Yahoo and Norton have to be the worst software available. I think I would rather have a virus installed than either of these two programs.

I can't say I know too much about Nero 7, but my 5 minute review on their website just gave me the impression they added a few bells and whistles without any new features or improvements.

Off topic: My favorite music software is foobar2000. It's simple to use, small in size, and has the best plugin-ins. Winamp is ok, but they just seem to keep getting worse. It seems nowadays you have to buy half their plug-ins (I understand these are mostly third party), and most of the plug-ins in general are not very good.

Ok, as usual I ranted on longer than I should have. I'll shut up now. B)

Huh?

The Nero7 package is a 100 MB download, whats the 33 MB about?

Actually I found on the web an unattened install of Nero 7, that is what they call Nero Core Edition on the web, it contains a modified mst file thats only install Nero Burning Rom.
