I installed Ubuntu (using the Wubi installer) on my Dell Latitude last week. It just rocks!
I was still under the impression that installing and configuring a Linux system was not an easy task (I have been a Linux user since the early '90s, I installed CentOS 5 just a few weeks ago on a server at home). I was just plain wrong. Installing Ubuntu 8.10 took just matter of minutes. Configuring the internet (wireless access + openvpn) is as intuitive as it can be.
Moreover, In the past couple of years, it took me hours to configure my HP printer on Windows XP. With Ubuntu, all I had to do was inserting the USB cable in my laptop et voilà!.
I'm sold to Ubuntu!
Now if I can take the time to ghost my machine and install Ubuntu on a native ext3 filesystem... I would unleash the full potential of my laptop (Wubi installs Ubuntu on a virtual drive, a file on an ntfs partition.).
