Reboot Computer Into Different Operating Systems

Some computer users use several operating side by side. Could be an avid Linux user who likes to play the occasional game in Windows, a Windows user who installed a test version of the upcoming Windows 7 operating system next to the standard operating system or simply someone who needs different operating systems for different purposes. Users who want to switch to another operating system from the current one usually have to perform a task that requires their full attention. They need to press the reboot button, wait for the boot menu and select the right operating system from the selection.

iReboot makes rebooting into different operating systems more comfortable by providing the selection screen in the operating system. All a user would need to do to reboot the computer and load another operating system (or the same one) would be to select the operating system from the system tray icon.

The iReboot software would handle the rest. This means that users do not have to pay attention to the boot process, great for a quick stroll to the kitchen or restroom.
