Currently Cloud-Init requires the ConfigDrive to be available on an unpartitioned disk, not a CDROM drive. Windows doesn't recognise this type of devices and mounting them requires the extraction of the data from the raw disk to an ISO file to be mounted / extracted afterwards.
It should be optionally possible to access the ConfigDrive as a plain CDROM as well to simplify the access on any operating system.
The raw HDD option compared to the CDROM one offers slightly better data access protection especially for the admin_pass field, but as this is going to be a deprecated option in the short term, the benefits are very limited compared to the additional complications for accessing the ConfigDrive data.
