Do you mean, install Ubuntu and not enter the BIOS? To install Ubuntu using a CD, you need to enter the BIOS, setting the CD drive as the first boot. Otherwise, the computer will still boot off the hard-drive and ignore Ubuntu on the CD drive. If you meant, install Ubuntu without removing your Windows operating system? Then you need to set up a dual-boot between Windows and Ubuntu. Search the internet for fuller instructions on creating a dual-boot. If you simply want to try using Ubuntu without making any changes to the OS already on the hard-drive, either use the CD containing Ubuntu as an ISO file, known as a Live CD. Or, look up WUBI on the internet. Wubi will allow you to download and use Ubuntu as you would any other Windows file - without making any changes to the hard-drive.
You could easily download Chrome for Ubuntu OS. It is available on the Chrome website as well.
When you first install Ubuntu, it will walk you through the steps to install it and keep your other OS installed. Then when you boot your dual-boot system, you can simply select Ubuntu.
Unless you choose to install Ubuntu over another operating system during installation, Ubuntu will not delete anything from the other OS.
Ubuntu can be installed on a Mac or run from a LiveCD (See links below). It can be run on a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X.

Yes absolutely one can install Ubuntu or any other OS without internet connection. Of course you have to have the Ubuntu .iso image file handy. You can install it using USB stick with universal USB installer or from the hard disk you have downloaded to. But the latest updates won't be installed without internet.
No. After download and burn the Ubuntu 10.10 install disk, you can either TRY Ubuntu without affecting your Windows at all, or INSTALL Ubuntu to have them both in your PC. However, to install Ubuntu, you need to be careful. Make sure not to install Ubuntu to the Windows drive. That is all.
