I believe the latest Mint either has Wubi or has their own version. Maybe someone can either confirm this or correct it. I did find, playing with both of them, that I liked Mint better, but I can't really say this or that was a good thing--save of course, for the fact that they include various codecs so one can play most multimedia out of the box. By the way Roy, I ran across an article of yours--I think was mentioned on Digg or something--and I liked it very much.
