10.04.1 was just released this week. Setting up a dual-boot FakeRAID was effortless
1. Configured RAID array in BIOS named STRIPE
2. Created a partition on the array and installed Windows 7
3. Booted 10.04.1 live CD, chose to test drive Ubuntu, began installer, and partitioned remaining space
4. At the final step before installation I clicked "Advanced" and instructed GRUB to install to my base array /dev/mapper/isw_eahajccfcj_STRIPE (*not* /dev/sda or the partition /dev/mapper/isw_eahajccfcj_STRIPE2 where Ubuntu was installed)
5. Finished installation and rebooted
If you are installing Windows 7 and you have hard drives outside of your array then pay attention to the location of the System Reserved partition. When I ran the Windows Installer it placed this partition on a separate drive that had a higher boot priority than the RAID array that I installed GRUB to
