GAG
Current version: 4.3
http://gag.sourceforge.net/
GAG (initials, in spanish, of Graphical Boot Manager) is a Boot Manager
program. It's loaded when the computer is turned on and allows you to choose
the operating system you want to use.

Its main features are:

Allows boot of up to 9 different operating systems.
It can boot operating systems installed in primary and extended partitions
on any available hard disk.
Can be installed from nearly all operating systems.
GAG doesn't need its own partition. It installs itself in the first track of
the hard disk, wich is reserved for these kinds of programs. It can also be
instaled on a floppy disk, without using the hard disk.
It has a timer to boot a default operating system (selectable by the user).
The configuration menu can be protected with a password.
The program works in graphic mode (needs a VGA or better graphic card), and
has a lot of icons.
Hides the primary partitions which allows the user to have instaled more
than one DOS and/or Windows in the same hard disk.
Allows a password to be put on each operating system, denying access to
non-authorized people.
Allows the boot manager text to be translated to all languages.
Can exchange disk drives, allowing to boot from the second, third... hard
disk operating systems such as MS-DOS.
Has the SafeBoot system, that allows to boot your hard disk even if GAG is
accidentally overwrited.
Supports a great variety of keyboards (QWERTY, AZERTY and QWERTZ keyboards).
Fully support for hard disks up to 4 terabytes (4096 gigabytes).
Full version and free software (distributed under GPL licence, with source
code)

Hallo,
if you would boot multiple Windows, then install GAG 4.3

if you would boot Windows, Linux etc. install grub as default
bootloader for linux and edit the meue.lst for your multiple OS. Grub
allows to boot from logical partitions without problems, can boot
Windows, Linux, FreeBSD. I use Grub in multi-OS Envirement (Windows,
5x Linux and in some weeks Freebsd).
