Ubuntu and XP, together in harmony

Side by side on your PC, happily... Well, you get the idea. Lifehacker points to a neat new beta installer for Ubuntu that will drop a little Ubuntu love on your XP box (Vista not supported yet), without the need for a brand-new partition. It's kinda like a liveCD without the CD. Get it? Pretty neat if you just wanna be an Ubuntu voyeur. It's still pretty beta-fied, so YMMV (and you have been warned).
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I mentioned this in the lifehacker comments, so I guess I'll toss it in over here as well. You are able to keep xp completely separate from Ubuntu if you just install Ubuntu on a usb jump drive. I wrote up some instructions on how to do just this. And it isn't a live cd that is just dumped on the jump drive, it is the actual full operating system of Ubuntu. Give it a look:
