One thing that may scare off people from installing Linux is getting messy with boatloaders and hard drive partitions. Or just the simple process of downloading and burning Linux ISO image files might be something that could dissuade a potential Linux user. 

Well, installing Linux has now never been easier for Windows users with the beta release of a program called Wubi. Wubi is a Windows-installer for Ubuntu Linux. All you have to do is download the necesary files, then launch the Windows application, and you are ready to dive into Ubuntu.

Also with Wubi, you do not need to worry about setting up, or rearranging, hard drive partitions, which can be a pain.
