You can delete XP and keep only Ubuntu, or you can keep both.

It is better in most cases, worse in some. It is better for internet 
surfing becuse there are no viruses or spyware for linux (for now), and 
it is more secure. It's better for DVD/DivX because you don't have to 
install the codecs one at time. It's good at burning CD's. That's just 
like you do it in windows (but i did not find a way to burn mvcds yet).
It's a bit worse for initial setup. You have to work a bit to make it 
become like you want it, but once that is done it is rock solid and you 
will never need to reinstall again.

Wipe windows and keep Ubuntu only if you can. That means that if you 
have some programs that work in windows only, and there are no linux 
alternatives, then keep windows for those apps. In any other case, just 
delete windows and keep ubuntu only. It's much better.
