Yes, but the Alternative Install CD only has a text-based installer. Sometimes you just wanted the GUI, but Ubuntu (until now) made you load the LiveCD just to get to the GUI installer. Now regular Ubuntu lets you have the GUI installer while avoiding the RAM-consuming LiveCD boot, and thats just perfect.

And the Ubuntu CD also has a fourth option: If you insert it into a running Windows machine, it will let you install to the HD without repartitioning, which is slower than a normal HD install, but faster than the Live CD.

They took out the Windows versions of Open Source apps, though. We can just point people to sites where they can DL those.
