[clue-talk] Nero 6 for Linux FREE!!

[David L. Willson]

Are you kidding?  I love Nero!  This is a big deal for me, even though I
know how to use the native stuph.  Nero will make it much nicer for me, too.

The real reason why this is good for Linux is because it encourages people
who are used to Windows to use Linux more.  If they can have familiar
software on Linux, a lot of people would be more likely to use Linux
exclusively and not be so dependant on Windows.  For most people on this
list, it probably doesn't do much.
