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.
