Hello,

I was recently using a University iMac and saw they boot camp Windows and Mac OS X on it, but the way was when you moved the mouse around and wake it up, there was a window where you could choose either Windows and Mac OS X and if you click on Windows XP, the computer would restart and boot into Windows, but if you click on OS X, it continues to go into Mac OS X. I was wondering what kind of program (if any) is used to achieve this. Thank you for your time.

Nevermind, after some research and putting in some keywords I found out it was from Bombich Software: BootPicker . Sorry to have wasted your time.

I believe rEFIt should do the same thing as well. I have used it in the past with Linux, Windows and my Mac OS.
