It's much more useful having linux run on the bare metal - so you can test real drivers etc. Grab the Ubuntu Wubi installer, which allows you to install Ubuntu linux "as just another application under windows" (paraphrased). It will live in a file on your windows filesystem; you will have to reserve a set amount of space in advance. Other than that it'll be a classic dual-boot system.
