EasyBCD vs GRUB2

I learned about EasyBCD while reading some replies in this Google+ posting:

I thought about using EasyBCD on my Win7 laptop where I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04. The GRUB2 menu had Ubuntu as the default boot choice and 3 appearances of Win7, of which two were restore or recovery options. I was not sure I wanted to edit the GRUB2 menu. Then I also stumbled upon this forum posting by the user who ended up with tandem bootloaders:

Then I decided to stick with editing the GRUB2 menu. I found this solution to make it easier and was pleased with the results:
