I haven't been running into any real problems with the VPC itself except any vhd attached in the Disk Management will drop on each shutdown or restart automatically requiring that to be reattached again and again later. The SUN Portable easily saw a multiboot setup without a hitch and makes a good place for custom installs when working cross platform.
The one thing I'll likely try here on any "next attempt" would be first creating a new vhd to see just how far the ubuntu 9.04 installer will go. First you have to run it live and choose the install option to select the vhd rather then the immediate install option seen when loading. 20 minutes or so later simply browse into users, your user name, AppData>local>Microsoft and so forth and create a new shortcut to the vmc file not the vhd itself to see it will run.
