Dealing with ISO images has also been kind of annoying. Ever since switching to Vista a year and a half ago (at least, when was Beta 2?) , finding something to burn ISO images to CD/DVD in Vista hasn’t really been easy. I had always kept an XP computer around just to mess with ISOs. With the following 2 utilities, I think I can finally get repurpose extra my XP computer.
I came across this free utility/program that will burn ISO images.
It works on vista, so for those of us who don’t have Nero (and don’t want Roxio), it looks pretty good (although I haven’t done a burn yet)

If you just want to get at the files in the ISO (and not waste the media to do it), I found MagicISO – Magic Disk. http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm. MagicDisk is free from MagicISO. They also make a payfor version that allows you to make/edit/burn ISO images.
MagicDisk lets you mount ISOs to a virtual CD as if there was a physical CD in the drive (like Dameon Tools). MagicDisk also lets you explode the contents of an ISO right to a folder (saves you the time of mounting it and then doing a copy/paste).
