I was somewhat disappointed to discover it does nothing else but copy the contents of a Windows 7 install DVD to a USB stick and make it bootable. Considering the upset in the media about this incident, I expected a luxurious tool that comes with lots of customization features. Microsoft was then 'forced' to release WUDT under GPLv2.
