    Yea, Wubi is amazing. I wish I was able to try out much more distros using that method, as Live CD isn't a realistic way to test a distro.

    I did have a slight problem, It stalled in text mode when I would shutdown or reset. This happened like 1 out of 4 shutdowns. Otherwise seems flawless.
