I recently installed Lubuntu 12.10 which is the lightweight LXDE destop environment which is designed to run on Linux based Ubuntu operating system. I used the WUBI.exe installer file which I downloaded from Ubuntu’s WUBI website. Wubi.exe stands for the Windows Ubuntu Installer program which is a simple program which downloads, set up the first admin user account for Ubuntu, and installs Ubuntu onto a virtual disk file inside your Windows computer’s hard drive. With Wubi.exe, you can easily make a Windows and Ubuntu dual boot computer. Ubuntu is a free, safe, easy to use, and feature rich Linux based operating system. Linux is a free operating system which anyone can use for free unlike Windows which is paid, and not free to use. Linux can also be used on older computers which are too slow for Windows 7, 8, Vista, and XP.
You don’t need to burn a DVD-R, or make a bootable CD to use Wubi.exe to install Ubuntu, so you can even install Ubuntu on Windows computers without a DVD/CD drive, or USB ports on computers from the 90s which have a 1GHz CPU, 384MB or more RAM, and 5GB of free space.
The default desktop Ubuntu install disc has a copy of Wubi.exe as well, so if you have a Ubuntu install CD, you can use wubi.exe from the CD to install Ubuntu on your Windows CD.
