Totally Free Burner

One of the most frustrating things about Windows XP is that it doesn't come with built-in CD- or DVD-burning capabilities like Mac OS or most Linux distributions. Windows Vista partially rectified this by adding data burning capability, but still left audio, video, and image burning to expensive and bloated third-party programs like Nero and Roxio, which have turned their disc burning suites into full fledged media centers.

Most of us don't want to shell out cash for a bunch of features we'll never use. That's why Totally Free Burner gets our vote. Hell, free is even in the title. It'll burn audio, video, data, and even those pesky ISO images (that you've legally ripped yourself of course) with no fuss or unnecessary flash.
