Thanks to CDfreaks.com for the heads up!

The German online magazine PCWelt.de reports that Nero 6 contains a 'bug' that could delete your entire harddrive. The bug is introduced with the Nero 6 Recode project. Bug might even not be the correct word for it, it seems more that Ahead forgot to limit the feature to empty the destination folder for temporarily files.

If this destination directory is set to the root of a disc (e.g C : ) and if the question: "Destination folder is not empty, do you wish to clear it?" is answered with yes, all files will be deleted.

how much of it would it actually get through before it runs into problems though?

I'm sure there's already a fix for it, but that's just plain retarded. Sounds like their programmers came straight from Microsoft.
