I came across with Wubi - new Ubuntu installer for Windows. You don't have to burn CD nor create new partition.
From FAQ:
How does Wubi work?
Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is installed within a file in the windows file system (c:\wubi\harddisks\ubuntu.hd), this file is seen by Linux as a real hard disk. How do I install Ubuntu?
Run wubi, answer the few questions, reboot and select "Ubuntu" from the boot menu, go grab a coffee and when you are back Ubuntu will be ready for you. How do I uninstall it?
You uninstall it as any other applications. In windows go to the control panel and select "Add or Remove Programs", then select Wubi and uninstall it. You can also use the uninstaller that you find in C:\wubi\uninstaller.exe.

No he won't cry! I think he'll be proud of his inspiring new book.

1. Programming Skills : Visual Basic ***Excellent***
2. I will not go into much theory analysis of the algorithm
First of all, algorithm running times and complexities are not compared as 3x or 5x faster. Please give me running time in Big O notation. Saying 10 times faster than merge sort makes no sense.
MergeSort was the state of the art How about QuickSort?
AFAIK, quicksort (as well as mergesort) is optimal algorithm for comparison based sort, which means you can not find anything asymptotically better than that.
And how about submitting it to academic journals if you come up with something better?

Oh I was about to configure settings when I read your joke!
Why did you tell me that?! Now all my files are being deleted!!!!

Hey I can do this effect in MS Paint with pencil!

What's interesting for me is that, they implemented new database like file system in C++, which reminds me WinFS.
