I haven't seen Dell ship Nero Burning ROM -- but it may be this: www.dell.com/.../pd Windows 7 can write discs natively - without many of the multimedia options supported by the full Nero Media Suite, but probably sufficiently well for most users. One hint:  if you do have a trial version of Nero and are considering buying it, wait a while - they very often send discounts by email that reduce the cost substantially.
I've just finished creating system recovery discs for my new laptop. As far as I can tell, that worked fine. I now notice that there's a 'Welcome to Nero' accept-the-license-agreement type window that's popped up... Is Nero just bloatware, or do I need it for burning discs? I'm not familiar with Windows 7, so I don't know if it can burn discs 'itself' or whether it was Nero that was used to create the system recovery discs. If Nero is required for burning discs, of course I'll keep it... but if it's just bloatware or a trial version or something, I'd rather get rid of it. (My laptop is a XPS 15, by the way, if that makes any difference.) Any advice gratefully received! :-)
