[Bug 1174026] Re: installation guide for Ubuntu 13.10 refers to try wubi

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

wubi can install 12.10, 13.04 and 13.10 just fine. And I tested that with each release.
It is true that ubuntu.com does not recommend it, as it doesn't work for all computers (specifically it doesn't work with windows UEFI based ones).

Nonetheless, there is a warning check soon to be merged into wubi  that
will show warning dialog and abort if/when UEFI is detected.

Title:
  installation guide for Ubuntu 13.10 refers to try wubi

Status in “installation-guide” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you read Ubuntu 13.10 Installation guide here:
  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-desktop-latest

  in "Step 5" it says: "Not sure about this step? Windows users can use
  the Windows installer, which will install and uninstall Ubuntu in the
  same way as any other Windows application. It’s simpler and completely
  safe."

  and it links to wubi's homepage. However, wubi is not supported for
  Ubuntu 13.10 and this sentence should probably be removed.
