Summary
Installer for Windows -Ubuntu installer forWindows ([WWW] old mailing list post)
Rationale
Windows Vista is coming soon, and Dapper drake should be released just before. Microsoft is likely to give a windows installer for vista, so people can install Windows Vista on top of Windows XP. We have to be able to provide the same feature.
Use cases
- John wants to install Ubuntu on top of his Windows OS.
- Sarah wants to install Ubuntu on the free space (not partitioned) she has on her disk, and keep Windows.
- Andy wants to install Ubuntu on the free space he has on his C: drive (partition), and keep Windows.
Scope
Most people using Windows didn't install it themselves. They might have bought their computer with the OS included. They usually don't know about anything.
They also usually have no free space for a new partition, but a lot of free space on their primary partition.
