yes, no problem.

Wubi -- probably not. The Wubi Guide does not mention supporting Win7 yet and there have been lots of posts from folks unsuccessfully trying to get the Win7-Wubi-Ubuntu 9.10 combination to work.

If you need to shrink partitions to make room, just be sure to use the Win7 Disk Management utility, not the Ubuntu installer.

Also, you should use the Win7 backup feature to create and burn a Win7 Repair CD. That will come in handy later should you need to repair the Win7 boot loader.
