Good suggestion. The latest version of Partition Magic (which is really quite useful at times) comes bundled with IBM's Boot Manager utility.

The only issue I've found with NT's dual boot option is that if something happens to your boot sector... for example, lets say you do something while booted in Win95 that resets your boot sector to the default Win95/DOS7 boot sector... then you will have lost dual boot capability... and you have to go through a relatively involved process with NT setup to restore dual boot again even though NTDetect.COM and other NT boot files are sitting there ready to go.

Commercially available multi-boot utilities such as System Commander and Boot Manager are more forgiving.
