Ubuntu is an Operating System based on Linux.  It modifies your entire computer's core infrastructure, and because of this, it surprised me that you can do other stuff while installing.
It's running a different instance of Ubuntu from the install medium. That's why it works ;)

So you can do other stuff while installing an OS? That's cool.

The only way i could run an application while windows was installing, was using an other computer.

By the way when installing Ubuntu, are there risks of totally messing up your computer when running certain applications in particular that needs a full install?
Well, the installer itself is a full OS, so the programs running on it are fine.
Don't that take heaps of space, though, during install, or is the OS running the programs only running from a CD/DVD or something? ???

It is only possible, AFAIK, to run the installer from external media.  And the OS doesn't really take that much space, <4GB in total.

Well yeah that's the point of a Live CD, the entire OS get installed in RAM then it runs from there.
