Windows boot managers have some limitations you should be aware of, and I would 
not call them "fully featured" if you want to run Linux as one of the choices. 
There is a good explanation of all this at 
http://www.optimizingpc.com/install/multiboot_bootmanager.html

Personally, I would stick with GRUB, even on a disk where you want to run 
various versions of Windows and no Linux at all.
