It installs your ISO file onto a disc as a bootable disc.  It doesn't
install an OS onto a computer to run.  You then use that bootable disc
to either run it as a live OS, or install onto a hard drive.

Going from what I've read, Media Writer can use dd as the underlying
tool, or it can use something else.  It's just a guiding hand for
someone to put an ISO onto something to boot from.
