Roxio Creator 2010

Roxio Creator 2010 Review

I installed this software with some hesitation, because so many utility software packages have had problems in the past with 64-bit versions of Windows. However, the best and really only way to find out is to try, so I rebooted my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit machine and did a fresh install of Roxio Creator 2010.

I'm very happy to report that I had no issues with the installation or with using the various software programs included with this package!

Having used both Roxio Easy CD Creator and Nero in the past, using this package was a familiar experience. There wasn't any trouble figuring out where to find a particular utility, nor how to use them. I was able to burn a DVD without any trouble, which sounds simple, but it's not something that you can assume these packages will always do without some accomodations for a particular drive, 64-bit drivers, and so on.

As far as the Roxio product vs. Nero's product that I have used in the past, I wouldn't say that either has an overwhelming advantage over the other. I have not tried Nero 9 or 10, so I can't make a direct comparison between the latest and greatest products from both manufacturers.

Bottom line is that it is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit and that no issues were found with any of the utilities that I ran.
