10.4: Use a free utility to easily boot into Windows

I wrote a small OS X utility (free, source available) called BootChamp (16KB download) that simplifies booting into Windows on your Intel Mac.

Instead of using System Preferences to change your startup disk, or holding down Option to select another volume on startup, launch BootChamp while booted in OS X. BootChamp only asks for your password, and does the rest without user input. More info at kainjow.com.

[robg adds: I tried this, and it worked -- and it's definitely easier than restarting and waiting for the list of bootable systems to come up.]
