Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way. Are you curious about Linux and Ubuntu? Trying them out has never been easier!

Looks good !!!

Basicly u can install Ubuntu in windows without messing with your MBR (just like a VM ) and its totaly free
Takes longer to install, but if u dont wanna duel boot, wubi is the way !!!! :D
