 I believe that the imtent was to provide on the disc a freely
distributable win32 application that could burn a DVD/CD from an ISO
image since MS Windows lacks that ability natively. In the early days
of Linux, it was common to see some win16 or DOS apps for
re-partitioning and so on. The idea is to assist the newbie.

And if you lack MS Windows, you can always use WINE ... 8)
