Hi,

I've never used Wubi, but according to the web site, Wubi
doesn't modify either the partitioning or the boot loader.
Therefore, it must try to modify... the registry?  In other
words, Windows boots at least partially, then hands off to
Ubuntu, or is supposed to.  That would be my limited under-
standing.

Anyone else with a better grasp on Wubi care to chime in?
