You can even modify it so it immediately reboots on launch, instead of running as a menu item. For easy rebooting into Bootcamp, I use the free Bootchamp.

Don't know if I'm willing to spend money for the convenience. @Ethan Not suitable for my purposes. I use virtualization software on my MacBook, and that's fine, but for my iMac I need something that takes full advantage of the computer's hardware. @Dan That's very handy, thanks a bunch! @Matt Thanks, that looks like a good solution.

When you select the script, it prompts for a password (you can remove this prompt) and then shuts everything down and boots directly into windows. http://www.maciverse.com/quick-switch-startup-disk.html Reduces a few more steps.

It requires a lot of work (removing the internal hard drive of your Mac) or having a small 5 gig NTFS partition on your main Mac HD.

I find this much easier than changing the startup disk via System Prefs before I reboot. Ben: Yes, you can install Windows to a second drive. This is how I have my Mac Pro configured.
