Question NERO ULTRA 6 vs ROXIO EASY MEDIA 7 ?

Need a good burning software for dvd/cd/audio/video/photo etc. I have it narrowed down to NERO ULTRA 6 or ROXIO EASY MEDIA CREATOR 7. A friend
has said that Nero was not too user friendly. He prefers Roxio. From what i have read, Nero is better. If anyone has used one or the other, or both, I would appreciate you input. I need to make a decision by the 10th. Nero is on sale 60% off (I don't know if i can say the name) at major computer store.

Personally, I've always preferred Nero. Roxio never struck my fancy.

Both programs do the same basic thing, so either one would be good.

I have used both, and I like Roxio better. Each has their good and bad points. Roxio has a slicker interface, while Nero has a few more advanced features. Both will burn CDs and DVDs just fine, though, so if Nero comes out a lot cheaper, I'd say go with that.

For years, I have been a Roxio person, hated nero. But my Nero 6 that came with my last DVD writer is changing my mind, as I find myself using it more and more.

I recommend Nero. I had problems with Roxio long ago, so I used Nero without looking back.

Go with Nero.

The only version of Roxio I ever liked was v3.2uk.

In my opinion all versions of Roxio after that were total crap.

The Express interface for Nero is as user friendly as it gets. The classic interface can be a bit daunting.
