you need to find a program that will translate the iso during the burn, but i cant think of any, try using a search engine, usually your cd burner comes with additional programs are you sure you dont have a program already that works with isos?
ok it depends on the version so you will have to reinstall linux after installing windows
unless you like me and use a hacked versino of win2k
cant say much to it. it could be ported in a way to make it more usable vb in its current state sucks not very versatile. but it had a simple structure to it, well simple for the user anyways its too close to the human language, so it takes a crap load of power to translate it, the major downfall,
