I'm cool with this decision. While trying to reproduce the "4 NTFS" thing I did encounter two super teeny, tiny bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/657078

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/657086

Neither is of any real importance, and the "four NTFS" thing was largely because none of the four partitions had an OS installed, so the only real difference is the lack of the message "There is no OS ........". I repeated this with an old XP system and I think we're OK.

I'll have to look at the issue of the installer using improper device designations much later. I'm just toast :^)

Ultimately we'll have to wait and see how new users respond to this, I'll certainly try to watch the forums.

I suspect the most frequent complaint from veteran users will be the lack of a "use largest free space" option. I've already seen that twice at Maverick devel in the forums.

All things considered I think you did an exemplary job of pulling this together in a few short weeks.
