Review by Stephanie Sullivan

I got Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 10 in 2008 when I was still running Windows XP. I just retired my last Windows XP system and while burning some of the data to DVD I was remind of this venerable version of Creator. It served me pretty well but with quirks for almost 10 years; I have been using various versions of Roxio NXT on newer systems and I don’t think they are an overall improvement in reliability or intuitive user interface. Using Creator 10 again reminded me of that.

I just got Roxio Creator NXT 5 and I’m hopeful that Roxio will have a winner with that version. In some ways I pine for the simplicity of Creator 10. The things I’ve used it for it’s worked pretty well and once I got used to it’s quirks. It got the job done on Windows XP. I’m giving this retiring workhorse 4 stars. If you are buying today, obviously get a current version unless you are still running XP or Vista for some good reason.
