It is our choice whether we download, use and provide comments via this site. IMO GOTD is providing a service that allows us to readily access software for free even though some is for a limited time. We should not blame GOTD for all the short comings that application developers put out here. Any and all software has it's likes and dislikes. BS 2017 is well above average ESPECIALLY for the price. I have been an Ashampoo user for many years and have found their software to be from above average to superior. You'll have to make your own, by opening each product page, going to the Details tab, copying the features list and pasting it in a spreadsheet or word processor. Ashampoo Burning Studio 16 v.16.0.7 of 6 - 60 $Īs for the differences between them, there's no comparison chart obviously. Ashampoo Burning Studio 18 v.18.0.1 of 6 - 60 $ Ashampoo Burning Studio FREE v.1.14.5 of 2 Ashampoo Burning Studio Business v.15.0.4 of 3 Ashampoo Burning Studio 2016 v.16.0.2 of 3 Ashampoo Burning Studio 2017 v.18.0.0 of 5 (presumably the one on offer here)

There, we see that there are currently four distinct free versions of this software : The best place to start, in order to make sense of this mess, is the download page of the Ashampoo site. Obfuscate the real info and keep changing version names, in order to have ever more people click on the download button - then upgrade for a fee at some point. Utter confusion about versions and upgrades, and this, in my opinion, is just deliberate. I am sorry for my perhaps bad English (words and grammar!) I think, the only really alternative after XP or 7 is (if you do not want to be patronized by MS, like they do in Win 10 massively) Linux, but with a similar problem we have got in WIN 10: Your "old" software may not be running - but the chance with an In-Linux-hidden Windows-Compatibility to use Windows Software is bigger, than the possibility of running this software in Win10.

All of those PCs didn't have any problems (Protected by Norton IS and Kaspersky), until they were updated to WIN 10 last year. I returned (with the PCs I have to care about), back to XP SP3 and Win 7. So, where is the huge "security with Win 10" and the so extremely risky XP (and soon Win7) a lot of people proclaim in this discussion? All these PCs had regular updates and had either Norton Internet Security or Kaspersky installed. Last week, the same thing happened to my son's PC, living 109 miles away - so it's not an in-house, or in-school problem. Everything lost (Lucky I had saved docs as backup) none of the installed programs existing any more. Only one thing offered: "Win 10 has to be reset"-what it did. On four (!) PCs at home and in school it happened, that glorious Win 10 didn't open any more( it had worked about 8 months correctly), no rollback possible, no Win 10 repair option possible.
