Just a note - some users report having installed 10.10 when in fact they have installed 10.04.1. This is because when you go to download Ubuntu 10.10 from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download and then click the "Windows installer" tab, it takes you to http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer which downloads the 10.04.1 version of wubi.exe (without any mention of the release).

This results in some new users mistakenly thinking they are on 10.10 (which at the time of writing does not have any grub-pc updates). Wubi does in fact report the version when you install at the top centre.

It would be helpful to have this web page updated to notify the following:
1. 10.04.1 will be installed
2. 10.04.1 Wubi does not support Netbook-edition or Xubuntu
3. Grub updates will result in failure to boot Ubuntu and/or your computer failing to boot.
