Thanks for the helpful hints.
Yes installed it within Win XP, using  with Wubi which comes with ubuntu as
default for window users. My experience - it is very smooth installation
and did not give any trouble. Since it is installed thro' wubi, I can
uninstalled the ubuntu from windows itself as if  it is part of software of
windows - thro" ADD/REMOVE of control panel - without any problems. You can
upgrade to any version within ubuntu itself also.
Since the ubuntu is installed normal way thro' windows and not  thro' any
Virtual machine - which i don't have any experience so far.
