Are these Nero 8 upgrade bugs for real?

[audiodrome]

I've been hesitant to upgrade past 8.0.3.0, which I currently am using, and after reading this info I found online, I don't think I'll be upgrading at all. Is there any truth to this? If so, this is TOTALLY unacceptable (especially the bugs listed in bold)!
