Install an OS, (iso file) without burning it on a CD or making a bootable USB flash drive

I'm trying to install windows 8 developer preview.

I've already downloaded the ISO. Now I should burn it on a CD or create a bootable flash drive….zzz

I was wondering, can I skip this step? Can I somehow unpack the ISO and boot from it straight away?

MEMDISK, part of SYSLINUX, can boot a ISO from another bootloader. You might need to use GRUB or LILO though rather than the NT bootloader.
