As nobody has mentioned this before, there is also Wubi[1] - Ubuntu
installer for Windows through internet.
A friend of mine made the installation leaving the computer with Dual
boot, but according to the Wubi web site you can also upgrade your
Wubi installation to a standard Ubuntu using LVPM[2].

Hope it helps.
