I've removed my Parallels and installed BootCamp now and will reinstall Parallels, but I found to many games wouldn't run under the virtual machine.

I use a wireless keyboard (Logitech) and I'm finding that when I boot and try to go into BootCamp that it isn't recognizing the Option key being pressed.

It sure seems like there should be some utility to launch that would shut down OS X and reboot into Windows. I want the default to boot to OS X.

Anyone aware of any such application?

Yes, the Boot Camp control panel which is accessible from Windows (assuming you've installed the Boot Camp drivers) or you can use the Startup Disk System Preference in OSX and then select which OS to boot into.

I use rEFIt. It gives you a graphical menu of bootable volumes when booting up.

Thought I would update my own post, I found an application to do what I wanted. It's called Flipside
