Burning software for Vista?
Aargh, it seems to be pretty difficult to find any CD/DVD burning software for Vista. I had been using Nero 6 but it is marked as not compatible upon install (and I've read of other users having a problem with this). Any thoughts as to what I can use?

Early Windows Vista RC1 impressions
My hard drive died, so I rebuilt my laptop with Windows Vista RC1. Here are my initial impressions after a week living with Vista:
Good
Bad
Other Points of Interest
Good
- Backup is integrated and does scheduled backups with differentials
- Shore is purty
- New security features exist to allow 'sudo' when executing programs with elevated privilege needed
- BitLocker drive encryption (in Vista Ultimate) is native
Bad
- Trend AntiVirus does not install
- FreeMind
- Open dialog fails (but you can open mindmaps by drag-and-drop or double-click association)
- Save As dialog fails (so, you need to have a blank mindmap to copy for new maps); existing maps can be saved
- Uses a ton of HD space (~10GB just for Vista alone)
- Nero 6 doesn't work
Other Points of Interest
- .NET Framework 1.1 is not installed; have to install it and the SP1 patch for it to function
