    I hate the new tabbed UI so I will not renew my subscription! Been with them for a while but now they are going the way of Microsoft and making stupid tabbed UI interface. Original 10.0 allowed you to still use the old UI but the new releases do not.

    I am looking for a new small foot print burning software that does not go for the stupid Windows 10 flat look! I hate flat!

    I used to use CDBurnerXP, and found it to be very good.

    what a ... rant - go "View" and select" classic symbols", or "Label".

    at least any me know burner has tabbed sections - and NO choice like burnaware. gburner, starburn, Power Burning Wizard, Ashampoo etc.

    (cdxp is out of choice - it uses old crap dotNET 3.5 - no dotNET 3.5 - Win8/10 = dotNET 4 or higher -> no cdxp - uses starburn inside)

    btw did you not save older burnaware editions?

    is there a history page available, since when? my last check was end of 2016 and at that time 3.5 was required. i dont like programs which are based on this crap or will force me to install such older crap on newer systems.

    You can easily change it back to 'classic icons' under views option!! Why switch from the best to the useless?

    i started with nero and stopped with version 8 (lite = reduced build) when nero starts get bloatware. then CDRwin (goldenhawk, the original!), Feurio (not exciting), UltraISO, WinImage for ISO. Ashampoo in between and sometimes i change to "complex evolution", a small burner like burnaware where burnaware were growing - all after 2008. i had starburn, i had infrarecorder and much more. i started with burnaware when all others had stopped development (if not earlier for other reason). for me is enough but for reason it is nice to have/collect the latest giveaways. and it is 100% "portable" if i dont pay attention to the INI file.

    concerning bloatware - burning software has change when nero got bloated - away from pure burning to a full featured video recording/editing/cutting software. bloating from 250mb/installed 1gig - up to 1gig downlaod/installed 3-4 gigs= wtf idiots!? in times were XP was the latest windows. xp at least only had 3 gigs - stupidity to install a "burning" software which exceeds a whole OS? and ofc with getting bloated the problems rised - rised a lot. i just sit back and had fun with my small burning software and working with a "real" video editing software, not that silly stuff from nero.

    from time to time i watch after starburn which delivers its burning engine to several other developers - starburn free portable is nice to have, its more comfortable - or gBurner. i also have a license for UltraISO and WinISO, PowerISO - for fun.
