The easiest way for a beginner is a WUBI installation. You don't need an
emulator or virtual box or parallels, etc. Just a PC that is already
running Windows. When you install Ubuntu via WUBI, it is just a series of
folders on the hard-drive (no dedicated partition necessary). This method
sets it up to dual-boot, so you just choose which OS to run when you turn
the computer on. To remove it, you just uninstall it.

That's interesting. I had never seen this. It seems a really simple and
great way to deal with dual-boot installation, provided that one wants
to run Ubuntu. However a dual-boot system is not nearly as convenient
for many purposes, such as "let me see real quick how this looks/works
on Linux and Windows". I see that convenience as a big plus for virtual
machines. Although I recognize the advantages of running the OS
natively, for a lot of purposes this is moot. Maybe it's a case of
choose the tool that lets you do the job the way you want it done ;)
