That's right. Microsoft doesn't bundle decent CD/DVD burning software
that I know of. I think XP comes with a way to create discs by
dragging and dropping files to the device, or something like that,
but it didn't work for me on my work machine when I tried it.
Pretty lame, huh?
But we could bash Microsoft all night.
So far I haven't been able to get my Mac to do much with CD/DVD
creation either, and it does have stuff bundled. Could be it's just
that I haven't looked hard enough, but I've got free Windows-based
utilities that do what I need, and more room on my PC hard drives, so
I haven't spent a lot of energy (and no money) on the Mac stuff. (I
should say, under OS X, since I can dual-boot on this thing. :)
Honestly, I don't even know how to burn a video DVD given the files
(VOBs and IFO structure, ready to go) under OS X. Last time I tried I
ended up with a coaster. Readable, but not as a video DVD.
(Oh, and sorry for the duplicate post.)

So let me get this straight... one downloads a ".iso" file on Windows,
and by default it DOESN'T know that the appropriate thing to do
with this
is to burn it as a disc image onto a CD? Sheesh! :^)

clicked
it in KDE and selected "install" ;^) )
