Nice comparative analysis! I'm tempted to try the new "free" 9.05, but I'm not sure what to make of this:
Regular sale price is $39.99. This version is free of charge (full version without any limitations) after e-mail registration. Otherwise there is a trial period of 10 days that you can purchase with out any email registration.
The email registration has you agree to occasionally let them send you some marketing information. (IE; new products, special deals, that sort of thing)
Has anybody registered for the free 9.05 yet? If by "marketing information" they mean they're going to be sending the exact same type of harmless, occasional e-mail messages I've been getting since registering for previous free versions of Ashampoo products, I see no problem with this.
Otherwise, I'm quite happy with Burning Studio 2009 8.04! |

After downloading ashampoo burning studio 9 i saw this  and you may be right this version is only a trial.
The Ashampoo Burn Studio 9 version 9.05 and Ashampoo Burn Studio 2009 look the same to me the only difference i see is that Burn 9.05 one can change the skin color. |

| For comparison, here's a screenshot of the Free version 6.76.
The development of this product seems to parallel that of Nero where simple useful burning software expands into a massive suite. -- "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and generally accepted accounting principles. |
