FAQ: Where to get the Wubi Input Method
Download Wubi Zixing direct from these websites, or buy with suites
Q: How do I enable Wubi input in Windows? 
A: Microsoft hasn't licensed the Wubi Zixing input method for Windows in many years, but it can be obtained elsewhere. (If you have a different OS, you may already have Wubi! See the menus or try the site search box above.)
 The original is available direct from the source:
http://www.wangma.com.cn/ 
And here's a Wubi discussion forum in Chinese:

There are many free variations out there. I'll let you be the judge of which is best:
 Sougou Windows 7, http://wubi.sogou.com/win7.php
Sougou 2000-XP-Vista, http://wubi.sogou.com/
Freewb (极点五笔), http://freeime.gofreeserve.com/
New Concept (新概念五笔) & training software (五笔快打), http://www.shunsoftware.com/
 Wubi input has also been included in many third-party suites, but last time I checked most had not been updated for Windows 7 or Vista.
For example, Chinese Plus and Chinese Star are distributed in the USA with English and Chinese instructions and support:

Please let me know if any of these links expire or if I can help you with anything else. (Except actually typing with Wubi! I'm "Pinyin" Joe after all. :-)
