I don't want to go through the trouble of installing it on this computer. Maybe if I got a new one or something.
Even then, I wouldn't use it much. Too used to Windows. china;

If I don't like linux, can I uninstall it or am I stuck with it?  psyduck;


You may uninstall it the same way you uninstall all other applications in Windows--if you install it through Wubi, that is.

Wubi makes no changes to Windows.

Follow those directions and you may uninstall any time.

The Ubuntu CD image? It shouldn't take that long; maybe it's your connection.

IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DOWNLOADED UBUNTU.

Just wait. I mean, you're basically downloading a whole OS.

Why the hell am I downloading this other thing if I already have that "Wubi" which is a whole 'nother 690MB itself?

Wubi downloads Ubuntu onto your system. Once you run that and it starts downloading the OS you chose, that's it. psyduck;

If you don't download this, Wubi's going to download it for you and it'll take double what it's taking you now. You're better off downloading it now.

Wubi isn't Ubuntu itself, you're downloading Ubuntu right now.

This binding contract is making me uncomfortable :|

WAIT A SECOND...

Did you already try to install Wubi before downloading this ISO? The only reason you're downloading this ISO is so that you don't have Wubi download it for you (which takes a looooong time).

Make sure the ISO is in the same folder as the Wubi installer. Like, if Wubi is on your desktop, this ISO needs to be on your desktop too.
