Ashampoo does make good software. On the notebook that I had previous to the one that I have now, it came installed with an earlier version. Although at the time, I did little burning, it came through the few times that I used it.
My desktop came stock with Power2Go, although it isn't the full version, it can do a lot, and is probably the best software that was preinstalled on computer. I burned my recovery discs with it, when it was new in November, with no problem.
Img Burn, I have it on every install of Windows that I have, for the most part, it meets my needs. It is an essential tool for anyone to have.
However, yodap created this thread to alert us to a really good software, and the other brands being mentioned is taking away from his thread. I once subscribed to the GAOTD, but I was flooded with offers of useless software, only once in a while a good one came along. Then when something good did come along, the servers were overburdened with requests, and I missed out a few times. Therefore, I unsubscribed from their mailings.
yodap, thanks for thinking of us.
