Wubi uses the win32 version of grub which is called from the NTLDR
Windows uses. It has a bug in it that has trouble finding the boot
loader which resides on an NTFS partition which is fragmented. I would
suggest defragging the drive wubi is installed on as much as you can.
Close ALL applications and services as possible and defrag. Possibly
defrag while in safe mode.

As for VMWare, virtual machines in vmware are not capable of 3D
acceleration which is what a compositing window manager (compiz)
requires. Sun just recently added 3D capability to it's virtual machine
manager VirtualBox. Unfortunately, it only works for OpenGL in Windows.
But these shows promise of getting full 3D capability in a virtual machine.
