With vmware thereisn't the possibility that you delete all your data or screw up your windows install.

yeah, but it's slow as heck and most people dont even know what vmware is, or how to make vm's.

vmware is not slow, it just can't handle 3d graphics (normal applications work just fine) If a person doesn't know how to make a vm why would he be using wubi?

I use Virtual PC to run my LAMP server and it works just fine . It seems to be quite fast, the only thing that lets it down is crappy graphics but unless you plan on using XGL or playing games, its good enough.

compared to xen, vmware is slow. Xen can almost run vm's natively, but it's a little complicated to configure.

Is it true that having one of those new CPUs with hardware virtualisation makes XEN faster?

I would imagine so. have you heard about amd's 3 core cpu? they claim it's for people who aren't ready to use 4 cores, but want more than 2.
