Hi Jeffery,
The CD only provides installers for Windows versions of some of the Open 
Source software included in the Ubuntu Linux Distribution when ran from 
Windows. In order to experience the Ubuntu desktop you should boot up your 
computer with the CD in the drive. Ubuntu will load itself from the CD and 
you can run the OS from the CD without installing to the Hard Drive. If 
you do decide to install, there is an icon on the desktop to launch the 
installer.

Hope this helps.
