From Wubi :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!
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application. Wubi is spyware and malware free, and being open source, anyone can verify that.

Version: Wubi 9.10
"Good solutions for Linux beginners."
Pros: Easy to install for new users, though slow to download.
Cons: Best to install from live CD -- wanted to load the 64bit edition of Ubuntu, despite the fact I was running a 32bit edition of Window. Working with a live CD is not optimal for beginners.
Summary: Windows users new to Linux should try this solution before moving on to a live CD installation.
