And more than 2 years later again and still nothing. So it's abandoned alright. are there anybugs or features that were requested and not fulfilled? that is when I would called it abandoned or ignored.

I see the last update was back in 2013 is there any reason there has not been any update since? any plans for future?

Ok I started this thread and I am closing it now I included all the info I could to 1st post for others .. so hope it helps... if you have HP laptop most probably it is under Lite-On technology and the newer laptops automatically change booktype to DVD ROM
