I’ve been a Nero user for many years. But when I tried to install Windows Vista the first time, I received a warning message that Nero had to be uninstalled before Vista could continue. Once Vista was installed I went looking for new burning software and came across a blog post where someone recommended trying SwiftDisc.
I figured SwiftdDisc would be a stop gap until Nero was updated for Vista. But after a few months of using SwiftDisc I’m convinced this is exactly what I need. It has a very simple but slick interface. It just plain works and is well worth the $20. It makes Nero feel expensive and bloated.
Update: CPU Magazine says the next version of Nero will include VOIP. Huh?? Since when did users start demanding cheap internet phone calls with their DVD burning? I thought it was strange when they added all the media center functionality. I expect them to add an office suite to the next version. Nero jumped the shark this time around.
