It's sorta messy to use GRUB2-EFI as a boot manager. Ideally the firmware manufacturer would supply a decent GUI boot manager so you can choose the OS, rather than rely on GRUB acting as a boot manager.

The better alternative right now on UEFI computers, is rEFInd or gummiboot as the substitute boot manager, which then points to the native boot manager for Windows and Linux (on Linux that's EFI STUB which is built into the kernel). This totally obviates GRUB2, and I understand that I'm not actually answering your question.
