Nero has decided to release version 9 for free! The catch? It’s on the restriction tab: “This version of Nero 9 contains simply data burning and disc copying features for CDs and DVDs. Additional features and functionality are available with an upgrade to Nero 9 full version.” Looks like you won’t be able to burn ISO images in this Nero 9 free version.
I’d expect Nero 9 Free version to be a stripped down version of Nero 9 that will keep bugging you to buy the full version. Let us know if you decice to try and install this on your computer.

I remember those days when I was in college and used to consider Nero as best CD burning tool. All my friends used to download it illegally and we always fought for newest version. Then came days when Nero was provided free with CD/DVD writers.
And now finally, its free (with a catch though). I call this a great software evolution. Wished sometday, it would be opensource. hehehe

Haha maybe one day. It’s harder for Nero because it has many competitors now (Roxio, Ashampoo, etc)
Yeah heard about this good news and also blogged about this.
