Has anybody used IMAPI v2 for WinXP?

Hi,
Microsoft released new version of IMAPI for Windows XP. You can find more information about it in KB (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932716).
I want to know can you directly burn DVDs in WinXP using this new version similar to the way we can burn CDs?
Thank you for your answers.

Guess so you can. If you scroll down the same page, you can find this and links for Win XP_IM-API v2

MORE INFORMATION
IMAPI is the optical burning engine in Windows products. Version 2 of IMAPI will extend Windows Vista support for DVD media to Windows XP and to Windows Server 2003.

Microsoft has learned that some OEMs are incurring sizable support costs that are associated with having multiple optical burn engines that are installed on customer systems. Therefore, some OEMs will require ISVs to migrate to IMAPIv2.0 in order to reduce the number of burn engines that are shipped. IMAPIv2.0 will enable ISVs to use only one set of APIs for optical burning that includes DVD burning capabilities for the following operating systems:
• Windows Vista
• Windows XP
• Windows Server 2003

^^ I have downloaded and read the information given in the page. But i am not able to get the familiar CD burning dialog box which appears if you insert a blank CD in WinXP. How can you go ahead without it?
So I am asking whether it is a problem with my installation of IMPAI v2 or it is not possible. Can you try and tell me your experiance?
