Question: I have windows 8 and don't have daemon tools and didn't know if windows 8 could replace daemon tools. Does it?

Answer: 
Windows 8 can mount ISOs natively. That is about all, but for any legitimate purposes this suffices quite fine and there is no longer a need for daemon tools/virtual clone drive/etc.
You can find a Windows 8 compatible version of Daemon tools here. [Daemon Tools lite](http://astroddl.com/daemon+tools+lite+free+download+windows+8+64+bit.html)
