Very good representation and I had good laugh at the end. I'm regular podcast watcher. I like this red T shirt Shawn is wearing on many occasions. I went in shop section, but this kind of T shirt is not sold there. Does anybody know where can I purchase one of this? Shawn?
Thanks a lot!

I've been using Knoppix for a while since it doesn't interfere with Windows XP because it's on CD. This video made me try this, and now I'm glad to to have Ubuntu installed like this to use Linux without losing Windows. Thanks for showing how this is done.
I love the blue screen of death joke.
Important Note:

orthodoc left a comment over on my site that I think is important for everyone to read. (Thanks orthodoc!)
Maybe you should also add that if people try installing wubi on a Vista machine with the latest updates then the installation is likely to crash at the very end. This can be avoided by copying wubi.exe file onto the hardrive and running it from there. Unless you give new users this bit of info, they might end up hating ubuntu like never before!!
