bloat, just customize your installs to do make Nero do what you wanna do and stop whinning... just liek with any program that is super-feature based..... Nero is a really sweet burning program and you can get it to do what you need it to do if you read and get up off your asses.

What's new in Nero 8?

Nero StartSmart - Direct feature access makes it easy to burn and gives you quick access to your multimedia projects!

Recover data from damaged discs with ease

Import and share photos and videos with one click to and from Internet communities like My Nero, YouTube, and MySpace

Fast application start-up

Expanded features for editing and authoring video files

It'll be interesting to see how that Recover Data bit turns out in the release...

Didn't Adobe Reader 8 become less bloated than Reader 7? Maybe the same thing will happen with Nero...

Yes, Adobe Reader 8 was a huge improvement over 6 and 7. I love the new clean interface. Perhaps there is hope for Nero, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. The thing I hated most about Nero 7 was the stupid Nero Scout thing that embedded itself in Explorer. It didn't have any new features I needed anyway so I saved some money and stuck with Nero 6.

I moved to Ashampoo a while ago an never looked back. It's pretty much what Nero used to be back when it was good. Anyone looking for a non-bloated alternative to Nero should check it out.
Yep as above.

on a somewhat related note, people criticise the cost of Windows ect, but the only copy of Nero I've ever seen sold at retail was $200AU which is insane for what the app is. Not that you cant buy the parts online ect for less, but none the less, over the counter its a ripoff.

I used to like Nero. Now it's too bloated. I found I only used it to burn images to disc anyway which imgburn can do for free. If I want to put files onto a CD I just use Windows. Shame though as Nero was the dogs at one stage :(

Thanks, I will give that a try.

More bloat!

All those new ''features'' in only 2 gigs ...

It's not just that you could configure the installation of Nero to not install it's junk, but each new update is the size of the full app. So to install updates, you have to download each update and not to mention that many countries have download limits.

I actually installed Nero 7 on my virtual machine that has XP installed on it running on Vista Ulitmate. It sure is really bloated and very messy. Many images and icons are not up to standards. Some looks pixelized and low resolutioned. I am very glad I didn't put all this junk on the real machine.

Besides who wants to pay X amount of dollars only to actually want to install 10% of what theyve shipped.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
