Thanks to you, I've been happily using the old HnS since the Vista days.

Has the HnS functionality been added to the latest EasyBCD or is the old version of HnS still fine until Windows 8? I haven't had a reason to look into it until a recent adventure with Linux, but I thought I'd look and see if there were any recent developments.

Is it possible to do the same thing as HnS with a manual configuration of GRUB2?

Yes, HnS is essentially a GUI to create a menu.lst file then swap (by mutual renaming) grub and bootmgr.
I'm still using it (highly customized) to boot XP/Vista/7/8.

Is HnS working with the latest EasyBCD or are you using it with 1.7.2?

Also, I'm having some trouble with Ubuntu (trying to boot from USB with it's own /boot and GRUB) when connected to my Windows 7/XP dual boot HnS system. Maybe you could have a look. Note that I'm not actually trying to integrate Ubuntu into the HnS GRUB4DOS boot loader.

Sorry - missed the 2 on the end of grub in your OP.
I don't know if there's an equivalent of grub4dos in grub2
