Feel Nero 8 is bloated? Try Nero Lite v8.3.6.0 + Nero Micro v8.3.6.0 stripped down editions

It would be fair to say that over the years Nero software suite because increasingly bloated. There have been many useful features added to the suite but useless crap such as Nero Scout (man I hate that POS) was added as well. Nero Micro and Nero Lite are custom made editions of Nero which have some of the the bloated features removed. Nero was initially known for CD/DVD burning so Lite and Micro versions only contain apps that are strictly related to this task.
