I'm not sure I completely understand it, but the one time I tried Wubi
as an install method the only difference I could see between it and a
standard dual boot install was that it used the Windows Bootloader
rather than Grub. It still repartitioned the hard drive. There was no
"Kubuntu" button on the Windows desktop, or Windows button on the
Kubuntu desktop. I still had to restart my machine to go from one to the
other.
As far as I could tell it was just for people without the intelligence
to set up their computer to boot from a CD before the hard drive.
Someone that was so used to Windows Autorun they didn't have a clue how
else to do it.
