You saying *with* makes me think that neither Virtualbox nor Wubi is really 
what you are looking for. By the sound of it you are after a slightly more 
integrated solution in which case I would recommend these;

- CoLinux (http://www.colinux.org/) runs the Linux kernel as a Windows 
service. 
- Portable Ubuntu is CoLinux paired with Ubuntu. Official links seem to be 
broken, but 
http://lifehacker.com/#!5195999/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows has 
some info.
- Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) is a posix compatibility layer and set of 
packages and tools that works ace for both compiling and crosscompiling 
software. This one is the winner if you are only after the console :)

Neither of these require repartitioning, and all of them run from within 
Windows. It's been a while since I've used CoLinux but I *believe* that it 
shares the filesystem with the Windows host just like Cygwin does.

If you are looking for a pure linux experience without having to 
repartition, you should stick to Wubi tho. Or even better, go with the real 
deal ;)
