While I agree with this analysis, and in fact I think it's a good thing
that Windows users won't be thinking "I can't change to Linux because
it doesn't suppport x", you have to wonder just how long it will take
the majority of them to realise that their distro already includes an
equally capable utility[1].  I'm glad Nero have decided to dabble in
Linux support, I'm just curious what their business model is.

[1] Roughly eternity, that's why they're still Windows users.
