At work I use it to present a menu to the PXE client. I've had most success booting .iso files by having grub4dos memory map them, so having a fair amount of ram is helpful. I've used it to boot damn small linux, puppy linux, Dell diagnostic cd .iso, dban iso, spinrite .iso etc. See the grub4dos section of this forum for good info: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showforum=66
