If it is XP you have remaining, edit boot.ini, changing the delay from 30 seconds (default) to 0. If it is vista u will need a little CLI tweaking.

Any dual boot you've ditched it's always worth fixing the mbr, cleaner avoids problems further down the line.

I think it will be a big help to folks resisting the move due to some legacy apps.

Only reason I didn't post it earlier is that apparently they are all fakes so far. Dunno how true that is though.
