Setting up a dual-boot configuration is like changing flat tires. I do not do it very often.
The above question is something that comes to mind after reading the FAQ's on how to configure a Windows-Ubuntu dual-boot situation. They say I need special software to create the bootable CD. Why is this?
I remember trying to install Debian not too long ago on another computer, and I did not need any additional software. I just downloaded the image and burned it into a blank CD. Come to think of it, I believe they included a small app to create the CD with the image download.
At any rate, I think what I am trying to ask is whether I need to get that kind of software separately or it will likely be included in most installer images downloads for GNU/Linux distros.

Software would need to support creating a Bootable Disc Image, but generally special support is not needed to burn an existing image.
perhaps the FAQ was discussing the creation of a Bootable Disc which allowed you to directly install both Operating Systems?
