If you install ubuntu-netbook as I described all you are doing is
installing the extra bits for the UNE GUI.  The rest of your Ubuntu
system will still be there.  When you boot you will still have Win and
Ubuntu.  Choose Ubuntu, then at the *login* screen you will be able to
choose which interface (classic or netbook) you wish to use today.
You can switch between them just by logging out and in again and all
your existing apps and data will not be affected.
