Wubi installs onto the windows file system and the Linux installer will create a new, separate file system. The plus about Wubi is that it is an easy and relatively painless way to learn the joys of linux (and of course the frustrations of linux... drivers, anyone?) The cost of this convenience is largely a performance hit. Plus if you bork your windows system, you bork linux too.

Windows XP and Vista run on the NTFS file system. Linux can actually use a number of different file systems. There are tweaks you can use with some of the linux formats that will improve performance that aren't available with a wubi system. Under the native linux formats, I don't have to defragment my hard drive. Under windows, I do. So, with a wubi install, when I defrag in windows, I will be defragging my linux install too.

To sum up:

Wubi good. Wubi EZ. Wubi uninstall EZ: just delete directory. Wubi get feet wet for test drive.
Linux installer good. Linux installer not as EZ. Not uninstall as EZ. Runs sweet. Runs fast.

Use Wubi if you need to check out the distro. A permanent install should use the linux installer.
