Dear Sir/Madam,
I have purchased your product which you may validate below.

Your product is truly brilliant and amazingly useful. However, I have one difficulty with it.
I have set up a dual boot host with:
(a) Windows XP Pro SP3 32b
(b) Windows 7 Pro SP1 32b
I mainly operate this host via remote control using TeamViewer (a VNC/UDP remote control implementation).
The problem arises that there is no way when running either hosted O/S to specify which O/S I want to come up on the next boot. (Since I only have remote control capability once Windows is already up and running.) This forces me to be physically present at the console to select the O/S for the next boot if I want to switch between XP and Win7.
Have you or a third party written a utility which can be run from Windows that will alter the next boot default stored in your EMBR partition? Thus, I could switch which O/S would come up on the next boot without having to go to the console. (NOTE: I am already able to power up the host remotely using a Wake on LAN Magic Packet.) I would find such a utility extremely useful!
Thank you.
