How 'bout a new front-end?
I know everyone hates any idea that makes it more like Nero. But...
I use NeroMicro often, and I like the NeroExpress layout.
I'm not saying it has to look EXACTLY like that, but Express IS one thing Nero got right.
ImgBurn is a first-rate app, no doubt. But the learning curve is too high for many people.
A new front-end might just be what you guys need to REALLY get user-adoption going ahead
of Nero.
