I'm still using Nero 7 Ultra and haven't upgraded to 8 or the new 9 because of the instability issues I've read about. Version 7 still works perfectly and contains all of the features I need. Why bother upgrading?

7 also loads very quickly and uses a minimal memory footprint.

Why do manufacturers always insist of trying to use all of the resources available to current power systems? For something like a burning application it isn't needed. And look at M$ Office 2007 as another example. I was using 2003 for a long time and really liked it. The whole 2003 suite installed on a system in about 10 minutes, needed no reboots and worked perfectly. Applications loaded in a couple of seconds at most too. But I then upgraded to 2007 recently. I do like the improvements, but it look over an hour to install the whole 2007 suite! And the applications are quite slow to load too.
