Thinking of trying Linux? Use Wubi.

If you're a long time Windows user looking to try out Linux, browsing through all the many linux distros and going through the somewhat more difficult installation/setup process could turn you off fairly quickly. Fortunately, for those of us looking for a much more simpler alternative to all of this work, there is Wubi. This is essentially a 1 click installer for the latest Ubuntu version. You won't need to burn a Linux disc, deal with partions, or suffer possible issues making it dual boot properly with Windows. It will install Ubuntu within your Windows NTFS filesystem just like any other software and set up its boot information so you can select which to start up when you turn on your computer.

Wubi is perfect for anyone just thinking about trying Linux. If you decide it's not for you, it uninstalls as simple as any other installed program.

Download Wubi or find out more information Here.
