an iso is a disk image that is compatible with both Macs and PCs. In fact I think it's the standard for the PC environment, and they open just fine on the mac.

*Says in slaving voice* but on PC you have to have a third party app of course. *ends slaving voice.* lol sucks huh?
On Mac's yes they open w/out a hitch unless its corrupt - then I'd use Disk Utility and repair the image.
