Install Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin Within Windows 7 just like version 10.04 which wubi.exe offered as an option. It is a hassle free installation of Ubuntu. First thing we must clear you – this is not a guide to run Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin Within Windows 7, again it is a way of hassle free install of Ubuntu 12.04 where the Ubuntu folder will be visible inside Windows 7, Ubuntu will show up as a installed program in Windows Add Remove Programs, it will create a hands free dual boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu and simply uninstalling that Ubuntu program from Windows Add Remove Programs will remove Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin.

Except virtualization, there is no good way way to Run Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin Within Windows 7, the ways frankly can not utilize the hardware and it is not impossible to suffer from various unrecognized hardware issues due to mismanagement of kernel, processor threading and resultant over heating.
