Should read "A number of people ARE happy with the GPLv3, but I am not." Grammar mistakes anywhere in an article destroy confidence in the rest of it. “A number of people is happy with the GPLv3, but I am not.”

Should read

“A number of people ARE happy with the GPLv3, but I am not.”

I'm amazed at how BAD this product (WUBI) appears to be. I thought Windows wasn't that great but this just made Windows look wonderful -- a feat indeed. I've tried ALL variants of install for Ubuntu (on XP SP3) with the same nagative results as the rest of the guys in the forum and am frankly very disappointed with it all. It has just wasted my time, sapped my energy and put me off Linus in general. The whole process needs to be worked on, as it stands now (for me anyway) all it is doing is giving Linux a bad reputation, this, I assume was not the intention. New to Linux but not to Unix.
