I'm open to suggestions for a subtitle here! (Really!)

For those of us dealing with ISOs a lot...

Check this out! Every piece of software we buy that I have installed on my machine, I have run through EZ CD Creator and made ISO images out of. Well, when I need to reinstall stuff, I have, in the past, used ISO Buster. But I noticed when downloading the Office 2003 ISO that ISO Buster isn't free anymore. Oh well, I thought, I'll just use it for 30 days and see if anything else comes up. Well, tonight on CodeProject, this very subject came up, and Chris Ormerod pointed to the tool from Microsoft Downloads above. How sweet is that?! A small tool from Microsoft that mounts an ISO as a drive...way cool. :)

Bad tool :-)

I suggest using the Daemon Tols http://www.daemon-tools.cc/portal/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5

MUCH better, imho. THey can also simulate standard copy protection - sometimes for certain drives making an image an get the copy protection simulated works better than having the original CD in the drive (happend to me once - I was seriously poissed on the publisher then).

Daemon Tools is also free, and quite good.

Alcohol 120% is also a slick program, if you want to buy something. Can burn CDs as well as mounting etc. Pretty powerful.
