Software Pick of the Day: Wubi

If you're a Windows user that's curious about moving to Linux and are just too lazy to burn a live CD and too timid to consider the prospect of dual booting your machine. Today's software pick will give you a better option. Wubi is a Linux installer that pretty much makes installing Linux, in this case Ubuntu as easy as installing a Windows application. The application installs Ubuntu on your local Windows partition and modifies your boot to allow you to boot into Ubuntu. Yes, is a real installation and you can uninstall it just like you can for any Windows application. This is a great way to get your feet wet in Linux or just visit your old stomping grounds. Check it out here, and like most applications I recommend its open source, meaning free as in beer. Check out the Wubi site for more details.
