Don't forget two options (one really obvious):

* BTTR's BOOTMGR
* Smart Boot Manager (aka, BTMGR)

I haven't tested either (yet?), but that's because I only use DR-DOS (installed on my P166 w/ 32 MB RAM) and FreeDOS floppy bootdisks. Otherwise, I just stick to NTVDM (heh, sad but true) or, rarely, QEMU. Vista's 32 MB DPMI limit makes me feel right at home. :rotfl:
