On the other hand, I'm not aware that Windows allows anything even remotely 
like Grub. In fact, I think that the "easy to use" Windows bootloader only 
boots Windows and doesn't even acknowledge the existence of anything else. I 
don't think it even allows you to choose which installation of multiple Windows 
you get to boot.

That's common across Windows - all very pretty, but very limiting. To do 
anything of any real "meat" means installing ... things like PowerShell to get 
command line tools.
