Comment 3 for bug 1078959

I'm not sure whether it affects recent releases more or less. I think some of it may be incompatible hardware. I've been running Wubi for a long time without problems and I know of others doing the same - but if you checkout #ubuntu on IRC and other support places Wubi often gets panned and/or dismissed as hard to support, buggy and for trial only - so it's good to at least have that 'heads up' rather than leave the impression that, only once things go pear-shaped, it isn't supported and the user should never have used it in the first place.

PS I am attaching some screen shots of the 12.10 diskimage install process. There's been feedback from some that the initial boot into Ubuntu (after the disk image install) is not the most user friendly experience and I'd have to agree.
