You can simply install windows on 3 primary partitions, each of them
bootable, and choose one of them with grub. This should give you
around 30 versions of windows, 1 of which (3 with some grub tricks) can
be 9x.

I do find this interesting though, so if someone manages to boot ntldr
from grub, please tell us.
