In terms of migration plan, we currently advertise Wubi on ubuntu.com
website [1] leading to [2].

I would propose to recommend people to use dual-boot install (but that

But if users still want the "don't change my computer experience"
maybe we should start recommending for those users to try ubuntu in a
Virtual Machine instead?
