	Sounds like what they are doing to me, save that the GNU/Linux version 
must be downloaded after purchase. Presuming the GNU/Linux version 
would cost the same as the Windows version, I think the bundle is 
ideal... at any rate, many people already own the Windows version, so 
this works even better than including the GNU/Linux version in the 
box... you don't have to go out and buy another copy of Nero. :-)

	If it makes you feel any better, the versions that came out pre-XP 
were incompatible with XP anyway, in my experience.

	Hehe. That is interesting. Outlook was what did it for me.
