Does Wubi treat Ubuntu like a virtual machine or does it actually boot independent of another OS?

It is possible to boot into Ubuntu through the Windows boot loader. You can do this manually yourself without the help of some kind of automatic installer. I saw a tutorial on how to do so, i think, in UbuntuGuide.org. It's useful information, but i'm okay with GRUB or LILO, whichever gets installed by the Distro i'd install. I guess the convenience for this is if you want to remove Linux but not have to go through booting up the Windows CD to restore the MBR. But you would have to manually remove the Ubuntu entry from Windows boot loader, i suppose.

15. Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System? - (34)

    Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
    distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
    answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
    Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
    The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many
    applications had to be recompiled. You ask my mom to recompile applications - She will throw out
    Linux and take Windows anyday. ...

17. Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative - linux operating system (42)

    About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
    tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
    Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
    to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
    should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
    a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t...

21. What Linux Distro Do You Use ? - (58)

22. What Made You Switch To Linux? - (14)

    I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
    that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
    very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
    learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ...

23. Installing Windows Xp On A Sata Enabled Desktop/notebook Computer. - How to ...... (2)

    If you bought a brand new computer within the past few years, you might have noticed that your
    computer shipped with a Serial ATA (SATA) controller instead of the convetional Enhanced IDE (EIDE)
    controller. The reason for this is to enhance performance and power management as SATA controllers
    and their supported Hard Disk Drives have a higher data transfer speed against their IDE
    counterparts. And they are supposed to use lesser amount of power thereby saving you more battery
    life in your notebook's battery or UPS as the case may be. If you want to install and run ...

    can set the icon to be fetched from the winzip executable instead, and all looks fine and dandy
    inside the properties dialog, but after refreshing or repairing icon cache it is still the default

25. Windows Ntfs Folder And File Compression. Good Or Bad? - (5)

    I believe everyone in this forum knows what a file system means and that every windows user knows
    what FAT and NTFS means so I am not gonna start going into those. Well, the NTFS (Windows NT file
    system) offers a few advantages over the good ol' FAT (File allocation table) file system one of
    which is the files and folders compression. This I have done quite a number of times to save disc
    space (and it really does save some disc space). i am using my computer as an example here. Consider
