Default Windows 7 Has Built-In ISO Burning

http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/wi...-windows-7.aspx

"Geeks and IT Pros often have to burn an ISO image (.iso file) to physical media such as a CD or DVD to test out and install software. We have made it easier to burn ISO images in Windows 7 by natively supporting the ability to burn ISO images directly within Windows without the need of a third party tool. To burn an ISO image in Windows 7, all someone needs to do is simply right-click on an ISO image and choose "Burn disc image"."

Another useful feature coming in Windows 7: ISO burning. I probably have to burn an ISO 5x as often as I have to rip them, so while I'll probably still install ImgBurn (awesome + free) on my main computer, it's nice to see that Windows 7 will have more capability out of the box than Windows Vista.

This definitely qualifies as an "about frigging time" feature.

Agreed. Would be nice if they'd incorporate mounting them, as well. This is such a common use case. I do this at least 5x more often than I burn them, so having to install Virtual Clone Drive as a part of every new PC install is a PITA, for sure. Perhaps an evil conspiracy between MS and Verbatim?
