I think everyone knows about the F8 key to access the Windows Boot Manager.  But did you know that in Windows Vista, 2008 and Windows 7 you can access the Boot Manager by using the Space Bar as well?

If you press the space bar right after the BIOS screen and just before the Windows boot screen appears, you will be taken to the Windows Boot Manager. Users can select which operating system to boot or hit F8 key for the normal recovery options. If you hit the Space bar when you  are prompted with “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD” will also lead you to the Windows Boot Manager.
