    I've pretty much heard the same. The 6 version seems to be the prefered. If I remember right, 7 is a major resource hog and has just too many bugs that were ticken' people off.

    I'm more than satisfied with Nero6. Don't see any new feature in Nero7 which makes it worth spending good money on. I was stuck using Nero5 for quite a long time until I realised all the good things Nero6 brought with it.

    you are right. Nero 7 has some bugs, one I have seen is that when I burn a cd or dvd, the label I set remains on the CD/DVD Drive, even when I remove the cd/dvd from it. it sits there till I restart the pc!

    I prefer nero 7 but it requires that you update directX.

    Here's a page that lists all the new features in 7, and a 50% off offer for upgrades from 6x to 7.

    I use Nero 6, then again I never tried 7 however, my friend said there isn't much of a difference besides the interface? I'm not sure the validity of that statement though..

    I've used both, currently using 7.
    Haven't ran into any bugs with it, but it does have a lot of unnecessary junk that you can simply choose not to install.
    It does come with NeroScout which is very annoying, no option to not install it and I had to look online on how to uninstall.

    Nero 6 is the way to go, everything you need, nothing you don’t.

    I installed nero 7 and opted not to install all the other junk (only burningROM) just like instapho said. No bugs encountered. Used it only for backing up data in both CD and DVDs. I use Alcohol to burn ISOs.

    6.6 is highly recommended. no need to upgrade. Go 7 if you hate money.
