"That's right, you can. Try out that Linux power and
coolness for yourself using these five easy steps. Don't worry,
you'll never have to leave the comfort of Windows to do any of
them--not even to a command line. Let's get started!
"1. Download Virtual PC 2007 - Virtual PC 2007 allows you to
install various operating systems as virtual machines and run them
simultaneously with Windows. No rebooting required. Download this
free application from Microsoft, install it and then proceed to
Step 2.
"2. Download Ubuntu 9.10 - Everyone agrees that Ubuntu Linux is
the great Windows contender, especially for those who are new to
Linux. Go to the Ubuntu Downloads page to download your free copy.
The download is large (~600MB) so it might take a while, so be
patient."
