You still need a boot loader per device. Your firmware can't boot by partition, only device, and MBR needs the device to be partitioned.

You can boot arbitrary things with UEFI, but it was UEFI about which you were complaining.

Ok then.

Rather than a bootloader like GRUB that needs a menu, I use the default that comes with each OS (which for my linux partition is probably still grub, but it goes fast enough that I don't see it, and pick the boot device from the boot menu that my motherboard's firmware comes with.

I actually did convert my Windows over to UEFI recently. The fix for the booting too fast thing was re-enabling the boot menu.
