IIRC the problem is that there's only room in the partition table for 
four partitions, so if you want to have more, you have to create an 
extended partition and create the rest as logical partitions.  What you 
may be thinking of is the fact that for Windows to boot from a partition 
it has to be marked as the (one and only) active partition (i.e., 
bootable) but neither Grub nor Linux in general cares about that.  This 
may not in fact be true any more, but up through at least Win98 it was.
