it is plain obvious that you have not considered that what Nero is tryong to do is expand to providing a product for the linux os. that is not a sinister move, it is a recognition of the growing popularity of linux
Nero is very sucessful on windows, as there are
not many good alternatives, there are on linux.
untrue. Nero is very successful on windows cos it is simply one of the best apps, there are tens and tens of alternatives
If you are expected to pay for a product (you must
purchase nero6 to download linuxnero) on Linux, you expect support at least, if not a nice system/interface.
Nero are not expecting people to buy a windows license so they can obtain a linux version. this is simply Nero saying "hey we recognise that linux is an os to code for and we better start somewhere by making an effort at a linux implementation" they cant support it cos they dont as yet have a linux infrastructure ... it is obvious that this is an emerging project
It sems to me as if they are trying to make sales
by appealing somewhat to the Linux community, but sadly have gotten it very very wrong.
you got it very very wrong Sean. if everyone had your defensive, partisan, entrenched attitude to developments then very little would ever be achieved.
i say well done to Nero for making the effort and wish then every success with their project and maybe one day they can aspire to a linux app that everyone will want to use, just like they did on windows

I do not want to add to the flames already started,
but some people already run Nero on their linux
machines via Wine. If Nero wants its Burning Suite to
run natively under Linux, it is up to them (welcome to
the linux world). Linux already has excellent
applications like k3b and xcdroast which I have used. I could say that both Sean and a a have great
perspectives on what they think about Nero making the
move to linux.
Could this indeed be yet another Wine patch masquerading as a native Linux app?
I agree with those who say that more good Linux apps is good, period.
Some of you who may not have purchased a Windows license in a long time, if ever, may not understand the concept of paying for software without any support :-)
