I think that, worst case, you could have a /boot partition on ext4, and then / could be NTFS. Although at that point maybe it's best to have just the /home running on NTFS. I'm not too familiar with how EFI handles it, but I think that grub would need some NTFS support? No need for hate. We just get grumpy when Microsoft enforces patents or calls Linux a virus, which they haven't done in a few years ;)
