Nero 9

[jessybxx]

I'm currently installing the new Nero 9 on both of my laptops. The setup is still running here on Hikaru. On Rick, I think it took more than an hour O_o That's more than Vista itself! Jeez...
Suppose it's because it comes with a gazillion of extra programs apart from the burning application itself. Not that I'll ever need most of them... Yeah, I could've unchecked them at the beginning of the setup, but I hate browsing through a list of dozens of entries, sub-entries and sub-sub-entries, selecting what to have and what not, without really knowing what all of those things actually do. Also, I do have enough HDD space to hold the crap so I might as well check it out. And who expects a CD/DVD burning suite to take longer to setup than the operating system it's running on anyway?!
Did I mention the custom install takes up more than 1 GB of HDD space?
Oh, and it also seizes a ton of multimedia file extensions that I'm expecting to have to reset manually. Greedy bastard.
At least it seems to work alright...
Damn, I need empty DVDs. Again.

ETA: Apparently, this moron of a burning suite is also far too stupid to uninstall its own predecessor *headdesk*

And thaaaaat is why everybody should use Ashampoo! Nero is a bloated beast, thick as a board, squatting on your computer and chewing on all your files...
