Bottom-posted plain text is preferred on this list.

The "Try Ubuntu environment on my computer" option will install Ubuntu
in a special directory under your current OS.  This simulates the
"real" Ubuntu environment without you having to change your OS to
test-drive it.  Most anything you can do in Ubuntu should be available
for you to do within that environment.

Creating a bootable Ubuntu on a USB drive is a slightly different
issue.  in this case, you are essentially putting the CD image onto a
USB drive.  Although I have not done so myself, that issue has been
discussed more than once on this list, so you can look through the
archives to find the details or just run a quick web search for
instructions (and give more attention to the results that refer to
Ubuntu or come from the Ubuntu forums).
