This sounds much like Multi Boot Iso. It will format the UFD, download & install Linux iso's, & install a grub loader. It lets ignorant fools newbies like me play with Linux- with out hassle (or commitment. )
And yes, UFD's are much faster than cd's. My laptop will boot Ubuntu in about 25 seconds.

Nice one. Is this one of the better ones or is there something similar thats even better?

Most notable difference for me is the fact that MultiSystem will work under Linux, while Yumi wont. I have not tried Yumi, Multisystem is feature rich and easy to use.

I think this cannot install Windows on a GPT system? I think for that I need to load Windows 7 install in EFI mode? Can I do that in Multisystem?

Never tried. Multisystem (as far as I remember) uses syslinux to boot, and then chainloads to GRUB(2). GRUB(2) is the menu that welcomes you, and you can chainload to grub4dos after that. (menu entry is provided). You can easily prepare Windows 7 installer on USB on linux. You have to extract the content of the DVD and chainload to bootmgr. I am not sure what EFI mode is
