Is there any benefit of downloading the software vs download the LiveCD?

You have to burn the LiveCD onto a disk and you have to restart your computer to use it.

I have MagicDisk. No CDs needed :)

Actually, yes you do need a CD. Virtual ISO emulation doesn't support the BiOS. It just installs Windows drivers.
I have Daemon Tools, an extremely similar program, and you can only use its discs when you are booted into Windows. I had to burn a CD+RW to install Ubuntu, for example.

Ubuntu has a partitioner within the setup process, you don't need to download any seperate partitioner.
However, you might need to shrink your Windows partition which would require a different partitioner.

You have what seem to be drives in "My Computer" for stuff like C:\
Those are actually partitions, a formatted data space from the actual drive. It is possible to have more than one partition on the same drive, in which case your computer thinks that each partition is a separate drive, so you can have one drive that is split into a C:, D:, and E:
To install an operating system, you need a blank partition.

Oh, that's good to know :P
Using Ubuntu, can I access stuff on the other partition?

Yeah, Ubuntu has the ability to mount FAT and NTFS partitions, the two main kinds used by Windows.
