iReboot : A tool To Reboot into another OS without Computer Shutdown

Many of us have more than one Operating System installed in our systems but if we wish to login into another OS after booting into the first we will have to first reboot the computer and then wait for the BIOS to list the boot options.

iReboot is NeoSmart Technologies' simple yet effective reboot helper tool. iReboot sits in your taskbar at startup (only taking up 400KB of memory!) and lets you choose which operating system you want to reboot into.

Instead of pressing restart, waiting for Windows to shut down, waiting for your BIOS to post, then selecting the operating system you want to boot into (within the bootloader time-limit!); you just select that entry from iReboot and let it do the rest!
