Thats in my opinion a good alternative instead of installing the ubuntu distribution on a virtual machine, because you got everything what you need for starting with ubuntu in one setup package.
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!
