    Ok i have just recently added ubuntu to my selection of OS's.....so i have xp-sp3.....and ubuntu 8.04 xp 1st ubuntu 2nd.......what i am having trouble with is finding a more appealing way of choosing wich OS to boot.....

    I have seen what mac has and that is simple enough......

    i am in no way wanting to be like mac....even though im no MAc basher i just was searching online and have came up with nothing...

    ive searched for boot loaders and boot managers.........am i searching for the wrong thing?

    Well, since you installed Ubuntu, then I'm guessing you have GRUB, there is a GUI version of grub, so maybe search for that (though I reccomend Mandriva over Ubuntu, and it comes with the GUI GRUB)
