says who? Wubi also installs GRUB, and "messes" the MBR in your words. It too creates a linux partition and a swap partition. Besides, its hell easy to install ubuntu. You need just five lines of instructions for it noted down on a piece of paper.

Wubi is just a way for people sans optical drive to install ubuntu.

It is ofcource, faster due to copying files from HDD, but still, Live CD is hell lot simpler.

@dark star:wubi is an installer for ubuntu that installs it via an ISO through windows. Just google for it.
