lifehacker.com— Free application Portable Ubuntu for Windows runs an entire Linux operating system as a Windows application. As if that weren't cool enough, it's portable, so you can carry it on your thumb drive

Yeah, great. Run the secure operating system from inside the insecure one. Windows' proper place in life is confined within one under Linux (or a Mac I suppose).
Not having actually tried it and based only on the content of this article, I think that Portable Ubuntu looks to me like a kind of a cygwin for desktop windows. Not in terms or architecture but in terms of end user value. I'd like to try it out but am nervous about installing this without getting some feedback from the community. Has anyone here tried this thing out? What are your findings on it? Did it make your windows machine less stable?
its's probably like my school, you need to enter the bios password to boot to a different device then the hard drive, to get around this google: bios password. as for the admin password in windows use ophcrack wich you can find on sourceforge.net. My school keeps changing the admin password thinking that they can keep us out of the admin account but they dont get the point that the school is full of hackers, the students are simply too smart for the stupid administration.

No, because his name was Wuss, with a capital W. Thus, Wuss, and not wuss.

Or you could just use DSL, which has done this for some time and boots much faster.
