Packet writing enables you to use the CD as a 700 MB floppy disk that you
can add or delete files on as often as you wish. You can't do that with the
Windows XP burning software. You can only write files to the disk. You
can't then rewrite more files next week and still more next month then erase
some of them next year and write more and so on and so on. If you only wish
to write files to a disk the XP software will work for you.

I use InCD and I love it. I also keep total updates on disks in ISO format,
finalizing the disk after writing to it and storing it for future recovery
using Nero.
