Or if you ever have to do a Windows repair and it blows away grub,
leaving linux non-functional until you recover from a recoery cd.

When I have multiples drives, I always install Windows on it's own
drive, then linux+grub on another.  Grub can always boot the Windows
drive, but Windows need never even know it's not in it's own little world.
