    For a dual boot setup (in my case, Vista and XP), when rebooting, is it possible to bypass the bootloader and to automatically boot into the previously used OS? (i.e. rebooting in Vista automatically boots into Vista, and rebooting in XP automatically boots into XP)

    hmm I don't think so thats possible with the default Vista/XP Bootloader mate but maybe third bootmanagers like XOSL can do that
