Is there any Windows installer (wubi) for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
When I mount the .iso file with Daemon Tools and run wubi.exe, it just asks me if I want to reboot (I think that's useful only when the .iso is burned on CD), so is there no "real" installation?
Ubuntu 12.04 won't come with the Windows Installer (Wubi) pre-added. But is there any way to install 12.04 using Wubi?
I know that Wubi is slower in disk IO, but I can't find anything about it online other than vague statements such as "slightly slower disk seeks". Has anyone done any benchmarks to quantify the speed difference?
I have installed Ubuntu on my D: partition using Wubi. Is there any way in which I can remove my Windows from C: drive and move my existing Ubuntu installation to C: drive and make it a regular install.
At this time, Wubi does not work with Windows 8 default boot-loader. Thus at this point Wubi would not work on a new Windows 8 machine.

Recently I've learned of Wubi, a way to install Ubuntu right from Windows.
Besides installing from Windows, I would like to know key differences between a regular "alongside Windows" or Dual-boot Ubuntu installation and one done with Wubi. Are there any disadvantages (for example a performance penalty) or incompatibilities I should look out for when using Wubi?
