How do I install Ubuntu?

Run wubi, insert a password for the new account, and click "install".
The installation process from this point is fully automatic. The
installation files (700MB) will be downloaded and checked, after which
you will be asked to reboot. Do so and select Ubuntu at the boot screen.
The installation will continue for another 10-15 minutes and the machine
will reboot again. This is it. Now you can select Ubuntu at the boot
screen and start using it.
