Great Tool for Virtual CD/DVD Drives on Vista

For years, I've used the Microsoft Virtual CD tool even though it hasn't been officially supported. Today, I needed to mount an .ISO DVD ROM image to install Visual Studio on my home machine, but I'm running Windows Vista.

Unfortunately, Vista doesn't play well with the MSVCD tool. Not to be deterred, a little Web research unveiled Virtual Clone Drive, which is a tool that works very very well on Vista for mounting ISO images, among other formats. You can download it here.
