Surely there must be another tool out there with similar capabilities as this. Most likely I will have to use this method to install a Win7 later this week so I might try this out.

Used the Microsoft one yesterday, worked great! I downloaded the other one too, it has better features than the Microsoft one and it also does not require installing.

Yes, The thing is.. The MS one is for beginners. It's so easy to folow the steps. The other one has more features, but isn't really that clear for beginners.
