Windows software that works with .IMG files?

I can already use these files under OSX and Linux, but is there a way of using them under Windows XP

Sorry for not being more clear in the original post, being able to mount them like you can in OSX would be nice, but I also need to be able to write an update files within the IMG file... Failing that, a utility that can extract/pack IMG files in a similar way to a ZIP file would be good...

Right now I'm doing it a slightly long winded way using VirtualBox and a Xubuntu VM, but it would be nice to be able to modify the contents of an IMG file without haveing to fire up virtualbox all the time.

Imgburn is nice tho, if there a way I can make that spit out IMG files?

Ok, give me a minute, I have no IM client installed... I'll sort that right now.

Hmm, it turns out not all IMG files are created equal.

Tried a few programs on a VM, powerISO, ultraISO, and none of them would open my IMG at all.

Turns out because the IMG files were created under OSX they're different, despite sharing the same extension. Eventually I found transmac was the only thing that could understand these files and it does what I want.

Thanks for the suggestions anyway.
