After a couple of false starts, there is now a WUBI installation of Linux Mint on my small laptop computer. The computer is running Win 7 RC, for which the installation procedure for other windows operating systems does not quite work. I found a web page that suggested that it is necessary to run the installation program in compatibility mode for Vista. I also set it to run as administrator, to be extra sure.
It will be interesting to find out how often I use Win 7 instead of Mint. There are certainly some applications that need windows, which will prevent complete migration.

Firefox soap and GIMP aftershave.... I'm not sure I can see it taking off.
