Yes, you're right.  The full Windoze version costs money - and that's 
exactly what you must have to get a free NeroLinux.  Don't pay your 
money for the full Wintendo version, don't use NeroLinux!  It's as 
simple as that.  And what's more, many/most Linux devotees don't have a 
use for the Windo$e version which they must purchase in order to claim 
their "free" NeroLinux.

Maybe, just perhaps, stretching my imagination a wee bit, you should 
have a little think before committing to tripe such as the foregoing.

It does cost!!  It costs money!  You must spend the money on a 
registered full Window$ version before you can have NeroLinux.  Just 
read the info on the Nero site.

That's good!  But if you actually spent the few seconds required to read 
my previous post, I have no complaint about another player in the Linux 
sandbox, nor about paying money for good software.  What I don't like is 
the trumpet blowing about NeroLinux being free when it quite clearly isn't.

Well, unless you can come up with something a little more thought out 
you deserve a few.

Windows isn't the answer. Windows is the question. The answer is NO!
I use, recommend and support OS/2 Warp and eComStation.
