So I finally made the junp to Vista, I'm using Vista Business.
In Windows XP, we were able to Drag and Drop files and folders onto the CD
Drive and then burn a CD. Is the same true with Vista but with DVDs?
Thanks,

Depends HOW you define "burn" a DVD. As in XP you can still drag and
drop files to a blank disc. These are commonly called data discs and
all that happens is you have copies of your files moved from some
folder on your computer to the DVD or CD. Vista like XP will format
the blank disc and it gives you a choice of file systems to use.
To really "burn" a DVD implies it will be converted to a format so it
plays not only on the computer that created it but other computers as
well plus also play on a free standing DVD player such as those
commonly connected to a television. For that you generally need DVD
Authoring software if you wish to add bells and whistles such as
chapters and interactive menu system. Such software is NOT included in
the business version of Vista. A crude almost useless DVD "burning"
package comes in Home Premium and the Ultimate versions. So if you
intent is to make such DVD's there are many third party applications
way better than Microsoft crude Movie Maker and DVD burner.
