I've got a question.  I used Feisty before Wubi was officially endorsed 
by the Ubuntu Community and tried to upgrade to Gutsy.  There were a lot 
of issues and I had to wait until the Wubi Project developed a version 
that worked with Gutsy.  Now I'm using Hardy and its installed using Wubi.

In testing, I'm assuming there IS testing, has there been any 
significant issues with people who used Wubi to install Hardy to 
successfully upgrade to 8.10?  I know about the NIC driver issues with 
the test version of 8.10 and I think I read about some kind of kernel 
problem but can't seem to find the thread.  My current Kubuntu install 
doesn't have anything unusual in it nor any off-the-way configurations 
or programs installed that had to be compiled (haven't had to do that in 
a long while).

Just wondering, can anyone answer this question?
