Any advantage of having a software for booting?

Is there any advantage of having a third party software for booting (such as BootMagic)? If so, any recommendations? Thanks.
 
I used to use Bootmagic 2 for my dual boot (Win98SE and Linux Mandrake 7) and it decide to stop working one day. So I don't recommed it. Luckly Windows can reload itself in the MBR. If you are trying to dual boot with Linux use GRUB it is graphical and works great for me with Win2k and Linux Mandrake 7.2.
 
All depends on your level of effort that you are willing to put in to it. I prefer NT4/2000's boot loader. BootPart (from the WinImage folks) makes it ridiculously easy to add OSes on other bootable partitions to the NT loader menu.

I like NT loader because it gives you the potential to have one-click access to ALL of the OSes. NO other ***FREE*** boot loader gives you this naturally when Win9x and an NT-based OS is installed.
