FYI, when you buy an iso from MS, you can install it from a usb as well...

windows 7 usb/dvd download tool is for convertering an .iso onto a bootable USB stick and not for burning the .iso

It looks like the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool can also be used to burn the ISO to DVD.

3. Select USB Device to create a copy on a USB flash drive or select DVD disk to create a copy on a DVD disk.

I agree with mitrum, ImgBurn is the way to go. I have experimented with several free ISO apps and this is the easiest way to burn an ISO.
