I was going to suggest the same thing but it sounds like they want the boot loader to appear every time and not set a new default operating system.
Kind of like sticky Option key if you will. I agree that would be nice, if there is a solution like that.
Bootpicker sounds like it would do what you want, but with more fanfare than you desire.
Edit: Neil321 beat me to it.
I Did but when i setup the options that i want on system preferences, i restart and i don't see anything but original bootcamp menu after holding option key of course
Ok bootpicker sucks, why? coz the os selector run before mac login screen and not when boot, any solutions please ?

Try not holding down the alt key it should boot up to what you set it as otherwise it'll boot up into OS X by default
You didn't get me,
i want to see the boot menu infront of my eyes without holding any key and have the option to choose which os i want to boot.
Bootpicker do this but he load himself inside mac before the login screen, refit have no gui options panel, what to do ?

rEFIt does exactly this, here's an example of what it looks like:
Follow the instructions that macffooky gave. . it's not that hard, really.
My kids use XP for gaming and my iMac triple boots like the example above. They were terribly excited when I left a USB key plugged in and a fourth option appeared on reboot As far as they're concerned, Ubuntu is only known as "The Penguin".

I'd imagine the limit would be determined by something else. rEFIt itself is merely a puppet. I've certainly had the three systems on my HD and a bootable DVD before.
I Just want to say thanks for everyone helped me here, and of course thanks to macrumors for this great community.
I take it you got things sorted then?
