Untrue.  You can get NT to boot linux via its boot manager by:

1) writing the lilo boot block to the partition (not the MBR), then
2) use dd to read the first 512 bytes (the boot block) of the partition
   to a file.
3) copy this file onto your NT filesystem and 
4) edit the boot.ini file to refer to the above file for booting linux.

It is a pain in the ass, but it does work.  Unfortunately if you rewrite 
lilo to the partition you have to recreate the file for NT.   Read the 
Linux HowTo at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html
