Do you want to dual boot it or run it in a virtual environment?

Yah, you can use WUBI to accomplish that. It will install ubuntu inside
windows 7 and then you can use it :)

Then of course you can. I would recommend using virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org/).

Install virtualbox and create a new virtual machine. You'll have to figure out the settings based you system for example how much RAM you have. I would recommend setting the hard drive space to around 15GB.

Then mount the ubuntu *.iso file.

Then start the virtual machine.

If you have any more questions. Feel free to ask.
