Here is a cool CD/DVD-burning software (for Windows) that I've been using for the past months ever since I dumped that memory hog Ahead Nero. Ashampoo Burning Studio 6.50 is tiny, doesn't install any system drivers, has no ugly autostart processes, and best of all, as of today it's free. Version 7.0 is out ($) but I'll stick to 6.50 which has all I need for now.
