Hardy Heron installs with Windows?

    I'd love to try this.
    With the Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron” beta, Windows users will be able to install Ubuntu onto their systems without having to worry about affecting their Windows installation. The Hardy Heron beta includes an install option for Windows users to install and uninstall Ubuntu just like your normal Windows app.


    No need for a dedicated partition, you can just install Ubuntu like any other app and you can then opt to boot to Linux or Windows each time you start your computer. All you need is Ubuntu 8.04 on a cd or an .iso file that’s mounted, and 4 gigs of space on your hard drive.

    For those who don’t want to leave anything to chance, just create a restore point before starting the installation process.

    Wubi they call it. It's great making these things as simple as possible. Mind you, it seems there is the odd problem as it's not a "real" install as such.
