On a full Macbook Pro, Windows is unable to force the use of the integrated graphics card, and thus always uses the dedicated. This results in a much warmer piece of aluminum and decreased battery life. I despised using Bootcamp for the while I did.
Ubuntu is limited as well. I'm not sure if this will change with Window 7's ability to boot from EFI or with GRUB2 now supporting EFI. If I recall there are several bits of the Apple/MBP EFI implementation that causes things to not work as smoothly as they should... some things that Apple either cut corners with or did intentionally to force you to keep OS X on the hard drive, not sure which.
