*IT DOES NOT* at least in my experience.
I tried to install to a USB so my Windows(tm) hard rive 
would not be touched and I would be able to run the same 
Linux install on my desktop and my laptop.

Evidently it is _Physically_ possible but the livecd doesn't 
let you do it unless you are already a guru. I've all but 
given up on Ubuntu being a usable/suitable/??? distro.
