I have just installed Windows 7 on an 11" Macbook Air. I am wondering if there is a way so that when I turn on the computer I gives me the option to choose mac or windows. I know I can hold down the option key, but I would like it to happen automatically.

Thanks for the help.

refit does this -- it'll give you the boot selection menu at boot without holding option.
