[Productivity] Flipside - Reboot to Bootcamp partition quickly with no hassle

Flipside is an application for OS X that allows you to boot into windows once similar to the tray icon in Widows that Bootcamp provides.  Here's a blurb from Project Appletree's website:

Flipside
Get to the flipside of your Mac with Flipside. This easy to use and quick application helps you get to Boot Camp worry free. It will automatically find your bootable Windows partition and reboot your Mac into it without changing your default startup disk.

Dynamic and static.
Flipside dynamically figures out which one of your partitions is a bootable Windows OS so there is no configuration or setup. It also statically remembers which partition you last used to make the process even faster.

Hassle free.
No more rebooting your computer and waiting to hold down the option key or changing you default startup disk to get to Boot Camp. With Flipside, there are no hassles, it does all the work for you without changing your default startup disk.

This is a great app props to Project Appletree!
