all we need now is a 10th anniversary price say £29.99 well it was worth trying:g

#3

no, all we now is nero 7 to come out on nero.com, not out until 2nd nov ish:(!

#4

well you can get it, if you know where :wink:

#5

the leaked versions are bound to be earlier builds though, hopefully the build out on nov 2nd will be newer and fix some bugs!

#6

200 million users? How they get that number? is that how many OEMs which I always throw away, or is that based on downloads which I download each time at least once (thank god for work connections), or is it doing phone home?

It is probably an “educated guess”. In other words: marketing babble.

It’s available for sale in Canada and ON SALE! It’s a good program but I don’t like having to pay to get the extra features-like MP3 PRO. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10067471&langid=EN

200 million is definetly based on the number of shipped OEM copies + retail & online sales. OF course what’s more important here is that imho, Nero 7 should have been an opportunity to rewrite/rework Nero into a better “under the covers” application. Instead Ahead has added a couple more piles to the stack and increased the bloatware. Nero needs to support update packs, and a more flexible install that lets me choose just a simple burning app with video & audio conversion (which should bring us to less than 10megs) to choosing to install the side apps like video & sound editing and etc. I was going to compare Nero to Photoshop, both apps are infamous for launching a new version for the sake of driving sales, but at least Photoshop makes some obvious improvements, and not just mere bloat features.
