installing using mounted iso

After downloading beta 2, I realized I didn't have any blank DVD's left. So I did a quick search for mounting an ISO to a drive letter.
I found this nifty little utility: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Virtual-CDROM-Control-Panel-v-Download-16468.html
It worked like a charm. Just follow the readme.txt, the default letter it uses is Z:. Goto My Computer, Double click Z:, then follow the install instructions and it installed without a hitch.
So far Vista is pretty darn neat.

Haven't tried this with Vista, but I have seen mounted drives destroy an XP install multiple times.
If it works though, that's good info.
