    Unhappy Where did Wubi go?

    I want to install Ubuntu, but want to use Wubi. Why was it not released for 13.04? I need it!

    Wubi does not work on any new PC with the Windows 8 logo or using UEFI firmware. Please use a 64-bit flavour of Ubuntu, installed directly to its own partition instead. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
    If you upgraded to Windows 8 and are using BIOS firmware, Wubi does work, but do not enable hybrid-sleep on Windows 8.

    n a message to the Ubuntu Devel Mailing list, Canonical’s Steve Langasek states that the Ubuntu Foundations team ‘…does not expect Wubi to be in a releasable state for 13.04.’

    Adding that the tool ‘…is not currently in very good shape for a release.’
    Switched away from windows XP to Ubuntu 9.04. Never turned around to look back.

    It is difficult to run WUBI on Windows8 especially, with 'Secure Boot' and all. Ubuntu say no point in maintaining it, I guess. Read HERE and HERE.

    Thank you so much! And to everyone else who replied to this thread, I am running Windows 7, not Windows 8.
