I was in the process of burning a 8.2-RELEASE DVD iso to a DVD today from a windows laptop. it's incredibly annoying that:
1) The iso is archived (why is that anyway ? the size of the file does not decrease that much anyway )
2) it's a .xz file (took me some time to find the utility I needed to decompress it, not to mention I had to work with the windows cmd - which sucks in my opinion)
I remember the dvd ISO was packed in a .tar.gz archive some time ago. Why the change ? A .tar.gz archive can be opened by winrar/winzip and it's quite easy to work with it. This .xz stuff however, gave me some headaches and I hate it....
