I actually had that issue with the ISO.
Just didn't like the way I had to use FireFox to verify it.
Instead I just used some common sense together with the linux
explanation and a command-line (cmd.exe) window open in Windows.
The windows installer for GnuPG is actually quite sufficient for
installing GPG (and it also includes an automated addition to the PATH
variable), which means they can just as easily use the linux manual to
check the iso with the signature as all executable from the installer
can be called from any directory.
Might need to rewrite some entries though as windows doesn't really
has a pipe command. Haven't tried PowerShell with gpg.exe yet though!
