I have used it from Ubuntu, I trust the Kubuntu version works 
similarly though. I used it as demonstrations. It is certainly easy to 
install and even easier to un install. If you are nervous about 
warranty it is good because the delete is clean, and no changes of 
partitions or boot sector are used. The native windows boot loader is 
used.

It is slightly less reliable in the longer term I believe because it 
is underpinned by the windows file system ntfs, and also by the health 
of the windows installation. If windows is messed up somehow, then you 
may also loose the kubuntu data because it resides in a folder in Windows.
