I'm surprised no one mentioned Daemon Tools yet. What software are you guys using to mount your ISOs?

Windows 8 mate. The iso loading on Windows 8 is so fast and seamless. I couldn't imagine having to go back to Daemon Tools.

Aside from the obvious Chrome and music applications, check out WinDirStat. If you have a low to mid capacity boot drive like an SSD, check this out. It will give you a sigh on relief for storage space.

I'm suprised at the amount of people that use VLC > MPC. I have used both for so long' date=' and can say everything about MPC is so much better.[/quote']

How is it better. I use VLC and it plays anthing i need, the skins are cool and I love how you can set volume over 100%.
