Please MS build in ISO mounter
Hi all
I know there are 3rd party tools etc (and probably the EU would have a fit again) but I think it would be an excellent idea for MS to build an ISO mounter in to the functionality of the OS. Virtual drives are flexible, convenient etc and with the HUGE sizes of pocket sized external USB drives available it makes no sense either practically or environmentally for people on the move who need to take a lot of software with them for testing to have to carry loads of DVD's. I have loads and loads of ISO's on a tiny (in physical size) 320GB WD passport USB drive - really handy BTW.
(Linux has had the ability to mount ISO's for YEARS).
Of course you've got Ultra ISO / sly soft etc etc but this to me should be an integral part of the OS.
(BIOS manufacturers should also look at the possibility of being able to boot directly from a virtual ISO instead of having to insert a separate USB stick etc at boot).
Hopefully in W7 SP1 maybe.
Cheers
