in a virtual machine it will be slow and you will not enjoy the 3d desktop.
if you burn it on a cd and then browse the cd a menu will pop up,
that allows you to install it along side windows and it creates a virtual disk file that contains all the linux files.
The application that allows this is called WUBI and is a fantastic technology.
It does this without partitioning your disk, and you can remove ubuntu from the vista control panel programs and features icon.
It also creates an entry in your boot manager so you can choose which os you want to work with.
this also is remove when you do the uninstall
this is the best way to try ubuntu other than using the live cd.

Without trying to create controversy, but simply with the desire to use both OS's on the same machine:
Installed: Dell motivated Vista Home Premium, SP1, 32 bit.
Capacity: Dual core Inspiron & 300GB HD, w. MS Virual PC (39MB, I believe), 290 GB C: w. Vista installed and 10 GB D: for recovery.
My question is: can I safely install ubuntu, v.7.10, in the virtual pc, with the intention to dual boot?
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Harry.
