Public bug reported:

On a computer with only Windows 7, Ubiquity does show the alongside
option, but does not state which part of the disk space will be used by
Ubuntu and which part is the original space. Is Ubuntu on the left or on
the right side of the slider?

So you don't know what moving the slider will do: will it increase or
decrease space for Ubuntu?

A solution might be, that the space to be used by Ubuntu (on the right
side of the slider, I presume), shows the text "Ubuntu 12.10".
