[20:14] <genii-around> I'd like to change it to this:
[20:14] <genii-around> Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information. File wubi bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug
[20:15] <genii-around> Any comments, suggestions, criticisms?
[20:18] <genii-around> I'll change it in 7-10 minutes if no one has any objections or modifications to make before then :)
[20:18] <DJones> Possibly specify Ubuntu 12.04 rather than just Ubuntu (based on this line on the wubiguide -> With Wubi, our officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows, you can install and uninstall Ubuntu easily and safely. For 12.04 LTS only.)
[20:28] <genii-around> So then perhaps:  Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information. File wubi bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug
[20:29] <DJones> Looks good to me
[20:29] <genii-around> Although 12.10 and 13.04 also have wubi.exe at their respective http://releases.ubuntu.com/ pages   but i suppose we don't need to advertise that
[20:30] <LjL> or are Windows 8 Certified UEFI computers incompatible with Wubi?
[20:30] <DJones> Wasn't wubi announced as having been officially dropped for 13.04
[20:31] <bazhang> yet it's on the dvd
[20:32] <genii-around> DJones: I asked in #ubuntu-devel, they said it's still planned to be included
[20:32] <DJones> At times, I don't think the left hand knows what the right hand is doing in the Ubuntu world
[20:32] <genii-around> ( although I had heard the same about it being dropped )
[20:33] <DJones> I'd seen a few reports of its demise, followed by others suggesting it would be back, stronger and better for 13.10/14.04
[20:35] <genii-around> LjL: Yes, they are incompatible. It's recommended to install the regular way for those, off the DVD
[20:36] <genii-around> Changed.
[20:38] <DJones> This what set off the Wubi RIP celebrations https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-April/036993.html
[20:40] <genii-around> Oddly, it was he who told me in -devel the opposite
 genii-around: it was released with 13.04, but has been de-emphasized on the website due to the lack of support for Windows 8 / SecureBoot      me: OK, thanks. Will it be in Saucy ?     <slangasek> genii-around: I expect it will be; there seem to be developers committed to keeping it in working order
[20:44] <DJones> I think that was the problem, nobody was supporting it up to 13.04, I guess the threat of dropping it has prompted people to come forward
[20:58] <bazhang> troll detected
[20:58] <genii-around> bazhang: Reminds me of the one in -irc a while back saying they love everyone, calling Pici maam, etc
[20:59] <bazhang> genii-around, hehe yeah
[20:59] <bazhang> although I remember it as "is Pic i a bot?"
