Work has begun on a Windows-based installer for Ubuntu. "The aim of this installer is to provide an easier way for a Windows user to install Ubuntu without having to know how to burn a CD .iso, set the BIOS to boot from CD, repartition the disks, set up a multiboot system, etc. It will not replace any of the current Ubuntu installation options, and will not require that Windows is installed prior to the installation of Ubuntu." Update: Screenshots.

Just worked out of the box.
I recently bought one of those cheap mp3 players that also double as usb stick and guess what? In Windows i only could access it through windows media player and all their drm crap (and i even couldn't use it as usb stick), but in linux it auto mounted as a usb stick, i could load the files i wanted, how i wanted. And, yes, amarok let me access it as mp3 player.
Who would have thought, much easier and better with linux.
