One possible gotcha: Windows 8 64-bit would be able to properly host WUBI 12.10 64-bit or 32-bit; Windows 8 32-bit would probably NOT host WUBI 12.10 64-bit.

One possible gotcha: Windows 8 64-bit would be able to properly host WUBI 12.10 64-bit or 32-bit; Windows 8 32-bit would probably NOT host WUBI 12.10 64-bit. It is extremely unlikely that Windows 8 32-bit will refuse to host Ubuntu 64-bit.

Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit use exactly the same type of NTFS filesystem. A Ubuntu Wubi installation only uses the NTFS filesystem in order to store its root.disk and swap.disk files. Apart from that both operating systems are pretty independent.

For a short while I had Wubi installed Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit up and running on a Window 7 32-bit machine.

Wubi downloads 64 bit by default. See the guide for 32 bit installation. The guide may not be applicable to Win 8 because it is so new. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
