There are a lot of people who interested in trying out Linux on Earth. What holding them back is mainly because they can’t live without Windows. There are several ways to get your hands on Linux:

1. Show no mercy. Kill the Windows on your machine and load it with Linux. This is the most brutal and bold move. I bet most people will not “survive” under this circumstance.
2. Make love not war. Peacefully co-exists with Windows under one “planet”. Partition your hard drive and install both Windows and Linux on your machine. Switching between them when booting the machine.
3. Leeched Windows blood like parasites. By using virtual machine, we can install and run Linux inside the Windows, both of them simultaneously but both will suffer from “imbalance nutrition”.

The second method contains the risk of wipe out your Windows but now there is a improved and safer of this method. Wubi is a installer that allows you to be hassle free installing Linux Ubuntu.

Wubi will creates a file that isolated itself as a virtual partition of Linux in Windows and you can only see it as a large file. It also adds an extra option to let we boot Linux. If you feel like Linux is not your cup of tea (Ya, I like tea :p ), then you can just go to uninstall it anytime. This is really a painless process and who interested on Linux is highly recommended to try.
