I've just discovered almost by accident that if you double-click an .iso file, Windows 8 will just mount a new virtual drive and let you access the files without any faff whatsoever. Woo!
Like what the Mac has been able to do since forever.

Didn't MS buy out one of the popular virtual drive companies to get the patents? I remember reading it. Or something

Can't imagine there's much to patent.
Possibly to preempt being sued for killing companies by rolling it into the OS and negating their business model.
The difficult bits are already done by the built-in cd burning and VM stuff (which they did buy off someone else and turn into virtual pc ages ago)

They've offered a free downloadable utility to do it for years.
