Easy to use for windows
can't express how happy I am with this piece of equipment. The second you take it out of the box you know you're holding a well constructed, heavy duty piece of computer equipment. Installation was a snap and took less than 1 minute to be up and running. I didn't bother to install the DVD writer software provided as I have a favorite I always use. The software disc also comes with other packages if you choose to use them. But if you already have a DVD burner software you're ready to go the second you plug it into your computer. I burned a DVD first thing. WOW, what a difference in speed than the same speed DVD burner built into my computer. What took me up to 8 minutes to burn in the computer DVD burner took right at 4 with the LG unit. To sum up this purchase, I am ecstatic!
