[ubuntu-us-mi] wtf?!

[Josh Panter]

Wubi has actually been the catalyst for me in many occasions to get
people to let me go ahead and do a full install! They hear about the
greatness of wubi, and assume Ubuntu must be just awesome and let all
worries go, it's neat...

Embrace and extend is much better than to just resist. Wine, Wubi, dual
booting, these things are great for showing people how much the whole
Linux concept wraps itself around everything it encounters and opens up
more possibilities. It's good stuff, I agree.
