<rant>I think companies like Nero and Winzip are being realy hard done atm
they have been making CD Burning and compression software for years and 
years and then BANG, Bill goes and includes it in his OS. How is anyone 
supposed to compete against that kind of business practice? You create a 
new product and either Bills comes and buys you out or he goes and makes 
it part of his OS by taking publicly available source code.</rant>

I say good one! Nero for thinking outside the box. I have always been 
happy with the way the product works. Sure I use K3b but that is becuase 
it is made available to me before Nero. If the next Burner I buy has 
Nero bundled (like the last few) I will do a road test. Actually I need 
a DVD Burner, I wonder if this is a good enough excuse?
