I'm surprised to here that Yahoo Go TV still works. I don't think that they have even did anything with it since it was released.

Updated Link. I don't think they really call it Nero Home anymore. I just changed the name to Nero 9. I'm glad to see this list is helping people. I wished this was a sticky, but I don't think they do them anymore.

To add to the list.... Nero DriveSpeed.

It allows you to lower your optical drive speed to reduce noise.
