The Many Faces Of Linux

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04: Wubi
Although the Ubuntu faithful had access to the Windows-based installer as far back as Ubuntu 7.04, Wubi became part of Ubuntu officially with Hardy Heron. Wubi installs Ubuntu on a file inside Windows, not a separate disk partition. Uninstalling or deleting Linux is just a matter of clicking on the Wubi Ubuntu item in the Add/Remove Programs applet in Windows. Despite being a file, it acts like it is its own partition, easily transforming an existing Windows box into a dual boot box with both Windows and Linux.
