This is awesome! The last time I ran Ubuntu I had some weird problem with getting wireless to work due to some bug or something. Any way, this time with 8.04 you have the option of installing the OS inside Windows so you don't need to make a new partition or run it from a live cd. Now gonna reboot and tell you how it works out later.

    Would it still run as a dual-boot then?

    Yup, once you install it to your Windows drive (C:\ubuntu) and reboot you can boot either Windows or Ubuntu. To uninstall you just use the Uninstall-Ubuntu.exe file.
