Some quotes from the site itself:

Wubi is Simple
No need to burn a CD. Just run the installer, enter a password for the new account, and click "Install", go grab a coffee, and when your are back, Ubuntu will be ready for you.


Wubi is Safe
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application. Wubi is spyware and malware free, and being open source, anyone can verify that.


Wubi is Discrete
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.


Requirements

• Memory 256 MB memory
• Harddisk Space 5 GB harddisk space
• Operating System Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista

PS:BEWARE IT WILL RUN 15-20% SLOWER THEN A REAL INSTALL, BUT SHOULD WORK MUCH FASTER THEN VIRTUAL BOX ONE OR THE LIVE CD
