Both of them are open source, and have been included in the linux kernel for some time now. Ubuntu Netbook Remix users would benefit from this.

I propose having Wubi put an "Ubuntu" icon on the Windows desktop, and a "Return to Windows" icon on the Ubuntu desktop. Double-clicking the "Ubuntu" icon would modify the BOOT.INI file to make Ubuntu the default OS, warn the user to close all open files and initiate a reboot. Double-clicking the "Return to Windows" icon would do the same, except making Windows the default OS.

The boot menu would remain enabled, so a user could choose which OS to launch at boot time as well.

This change would make the process of launching Ubuntu more consistent with the way that users typically launch applications. It would also avoid confusing situations such as being asked to reboot after installing Ubuntu updates and ending up back in Windows if you miss the boot menu.

Add to wubi&lubi the "install to a USB" option (typically FAT32) and additionally allow swapless setup to protect the life cycle of the drive.

If you install the system and bootloader in a USB flash drive, as only allow one partition per external drive, every Windows based system will see a "corrupted" partition table and constantly propose to format the drive. And the fs-driver workaround demand a second storage medium or Internet access, so may not be reasonable enough.

Dynamic expansible disks are great:
They just ocuppy the size they really need, growing only when required.

(VMware Workstation and VirtualBox already use this)

We can imagine a kind of tooltip that appears after the boot, from time to time (with the possibility to say "never remind me" or "remind me again in xx days" for exemple) on Wubi-installed Ubuntu.

This popup could remind the differences between Wubi-installed Ubuntu and "real" Ubuntu, to encourage user to install the real Ubuntu, and at least make him understand this is not a good definitive solution.

Don't install Wubi-Ubuntu at all (it messes with your bott entries and is not optimal in order to try Ubuntu).
It makes no sense. If a Windows User wants to try Ubuntu, he/she should imply use the Portable Ubuntu and if the OS is desirable install it for real.
Create a warning that Wubi-Ubutntu is a hybrid (and messes with your Windows installation).
