@anish_sha Ya netbook version is really lite and awesome. I tried that on my Virtual Box. But as said by thetoxicmindm use the Desktop version, if it can be handled, it's more feature rich.
installed the desktop version only.. so far so good...

1. Open the terminal (Application > Accessories > Terminal)
2. Type gksu gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and hit enter.
3. Enter your root password.
4. Search for the line set default="0"
5. Now assign the boot no. of Windows. (count the OS's starting from the top. The first one is 0.)
For example: If in your grub boot menu your Windows OS is at 2nd position then its no. of will be 1 so set default="1"

Oh BTW, I've a query too:-
How can I clean up Ubuntu Grub Boot Menu after kernel upgrades? I mean, I know that I can remove entry from grub.cfg file but that doesn't remove the kernel, it just clean up my boot menu. I want to remove/uninstall old kernels as I overheard that each kernel takes around 150 MB. (BTW I'm using Lucid Lynx)
how to do this? im not getting.. this is what im getting
