WUBI (was : Article- Is Ubuntu A Real Alternative to Windows)

[Kevin Gregg]

WUBI seems to be mentioned as one of the "challenges" new Ubuntu users
face.  I've dabbled with Ubuntu for 2+ years... since version 10.x, I
think.  Not once did I try to use WUBI.  I have heard of it before but
never thought I had to use it.  I always followed the installation
directions from ubuntu.com .....
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-desktop-latest  These
directions do not mention WUBI.
