Well, no.  _Windows_ doesn't load the program.  The bootloader does, and it
doesn't load programs the way Windows would.

That doesn't make any sense to me.  Windows _is_ on a primary partition. 
Windows isn't "sharing", anything.  If you boot into Windows, it owns the
whole drive.

Could you rephrase that as an English sentence, please??  How many drives
_do_ you have?

Wubi installs to a _file_ on Windows.  As such, you can't actually prevent
it doing anything invasive to ubuntu.  You just have to avoid touching that
file from Windows.
