After fiddling with Nero 6 Ultra Edition 6.6, our experts loved the ability to stream media over a LAN, the new photo-editing module, and the enhanced support for MPEG-4. And those are just additions to an already packed feature set that includes great CD- and DVD-burning tools and content-editing apps. Another nice feature is the price--free to Nero 6 users. Read our online review for full details. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1369-4-54-252229-135593-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Sub-$1K AIO Color Laser We've got to hand it to Canon for managing to produce the first sub-$1,000 all-in-one color laser printer. There are a couple of kinks to work out, like the awkward network setup, but overall, the Canon Color imageClass MF8170c is a great value. Printing speed is comparable to other color lasers, text-printing quality is perfect, and even the photo-printing capabilities are as good as any color laser. We've got all the details in our online review.
