I don't see any advantages at all. As you have said, windows still had to make 
sure 'something' was before the bios limit. In the case of windows this is 
ntloader. I don't see any real difference between windows placing ntloader 
where it can be read, and linux placing /boot. Essentially both boil down to 
the same thing.
