If this is the one true thing I read on the internet all day, I will
be very happy.
I think Wubi has been languishing for far too long, and I think it
gives a bad impression to people who want to try Ubuntu but aren't
technical enough to want to overwrite their windows installation.
Additionally, I feel that the "try Ubuntu before you delete windows
forever" use-case is better served by simply booting the liveCD and
using that without doing the installation.
So, yes, I whole-heartedly agree, lets drop Wubi!
