Yes Agreed.

I have done exactly this on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it works as Bob describes. If you doubleclick the exe and it does not open a CD burning utility then you've got a a bad file and should download it again. There's no need for any other CD burning program.

Hugh, if you haven't followed Bob's procedure exactly you may just have a CD that is only good as a coaster. Please let us know how if you get everything sorted out.

Download the .exe version of the liveCD. Once downloaded, double click on the file. After a minute or so, a window will open. Click OK in that window, your CD tray will open and you will be prompted to insert a blank CD. Insert the blank CD, close the tray and click OK on the popup. It will burn the image to CD for you. Then simply reboot your computer to the CD.

The exe version is fully self-contained. It requires no additional software to make it work. The iso version on the other hand does require additional software. So again, if you are a Windows user and in doubt, download the Chirp_liveCD_23Dec12_32bit.exe file.
