On $SUBJECT don't forget virtualization and .iso files.  I use the ISO
format as a (somewhat inconvenient) way to boot virtual machines, and
probably less than 1 in 10 of those ISOs that I download get burned

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
