Well.. the advantage of wubi is, that it does not need separate 
partitions, but just creates a file in the existing file system in 
windows. This makes it very easy to remove it again.

Surely this does not help if the hard disk is full. However, except of 
music and video collectors, most systems today have far too much hard 
disk space to not have enough space for wubi left.

Just my 2 cents (Canadian!).
