Most new machines use all 4 primary partitions, and rolling back such an install if someone changes their mind is problematic. Unless you know your way around GRUB and / or you have the original DVD, I would never install Ubuntu as a dual-boot on a new machine for a new user.
In fact I've found it's easier to convert a Windows install to a virtual machine, then wipe a system and install Ubuntu bare-metal, then use VirtualBox (from Oracle) to get back 100% Windows functionality. That's more than the typical 5-minute pitch though :D Cheers, Fabian -- Fabián Rodríguez http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MagicFab ~ Local Community ("LoCo") team contact pour Ubuntu Québec http://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuebecTeam
