In my humble opinion, besides fixing the OS detection and ambiguous
labels, a final confirmation step should be added after the
simple/advanced partitioning step (like others have suggested).

That step should detail the partitioning changes and warn the user that 
clicking "Install Now" will write the changes to disk and ask for confirmation.
Something like the Ubuntu installer used to have:

It could also display the "before" and "after" disk(s) partitions in
that step, or before in the simple partitioning step like it used to:

partitioning.jpg

The older versions of the Ubuntu installer made a better job here.
