HeSomeone said on some forum that soon the age of optical drives would come to an end and that softwares like UltraISO would soon become useless. The truth is that this is far from happening, especially when Blu-ray won the HD war and it's just started to warm up. Plus, optical media is the best solution for long term keeping of files; I have a 7 years old CD that still works with no problems (although I probably should make a copy, just to stay on the safe side).

But our interest today is the latest version of UltraISO, so let's get to it while it's still hot (it was released yesterday). At a first glance, the version number 9 of the software does not seem to have brought changes, but a closer look will reveal its extended functionality. The same limitation is maintained in the trial version, so you still can't use the application for working with more than 300MB worth of files.

The interface preserved its looks and the same explorer functionality is available, with dual panes for viewing both local files and folders as well as the structure of the image. Adding files from one part to another is easily achieved with a drag and drop operation or by using the context menus of both panels. Simply put, UltraISO is that sort of the software you can't possibly find hard to use, maybe a little confusing at the beginning, but, once you've grown accustomed with it, you cannot but appreciate its display of options in the window and the dual pane structure of the interface.
