That's not entirely true.
The Windows application Rufus [1] can install a ReactOS MBR, albeit only
to an USB or VHD target (disclaimer: I am the author of Rufus). Granted,
because Rufus is aimed at a general user population, this option is only
made available in advanced mode (you'll need to click the white arrow in
the UI before it becomes listed in the bootable types) but it is there.
If that doesn't suit your needs, I'll just point that I added ReactOS
MBR support in the ms-sys [2] branch I use for Rufus [3], so it should
be should be a relatively simple effort to create an ms-sys based
Windows application, that installs a ReactOS MBR wherever.
