Nero is popular for their feature filled, yet expensive, burning software. Well today Nero has released a stripped down free version of Nero 9:

To be honest, sure this may look like Nero is being generous finally offering a free version of their software, but, and I am being very blunt here, this free version of Nero 9 is useless. It can only burn data or copy CD/DVDs. That is it. It can’t make audio CDs, burn or create ISOs, author DVDs, etc.; it is truly stripped down. My suggestion would definitely be Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009 over this but for Nero lovers who can’t afford to purchase the full version of Nero… this is an early birthday present?

Nero 9 Free is a 55 MB download and works on x86 and x64 Windows XP, Vista and Win7. You can get Nero 9 Free from the following link:
