Wubi is all right - I used it the first time I tried Ubuntu. But in hindsight, investing the time to conquer the learning curve and do an all out dual-boot setup was definitely worth it. :)

I'm currently using wubi and customized it to be looking like Mac :)

Now OS X and Windows together I've never tried, so I can't say.
Though, my biggest help with my old Ubuntu/WinXP setup was having the two OSs on different hard drives (not partitions). That way if one went down (usually me screwing something up in Ubuntu) the other one didn't lose a master boot record or something in the process. I would actually use the bios to choose a boot device on startup to make sure my windows installation didn't get damaged. :P
The customization is one of the best things about linux, but one thing I'm not a fan of in the latest version of ubuntu - you could make gnome 2.x look like ANYTHING with some time.

haha don't try on the same drive it sucks! haha
I wish I had multiple HDDs...:\

Yep, I love linux, it's so...free and limitless, unlike windows...too strict, and maybe a bit user friendly but not suitable for customizing UI's and whatnot :\

Storage is cheap these days; head over to Newegg and grab yourself a little 80-250 GB drive! :) (The drive size doesn't matter if you only put the OS on the drive, and keep your data on another, larger one.)

Hopefully, whenever I get around to building my own computer, I'll probably have a go at Arch Linux - difficult setup, but apparently it's a great learning experience and you end up with a tailor-fit system.

Nice. Very convincing.

You should try out an app called leftsider. Moves the window buttons to the left just like in Mac and Ubuntu.
