Hi, There is something called as default= option in the grub.conf and lilo.conf file in /etc directory. You can set the default bootable option as windows or any linux image you want and the timeout for the default option. But this default option persists for subsequent bootings too unless you change it manually and reboot it. On the other hand, because of the timeout period of 5 (or 50 seconds) that you can keep in lilo.conf/grub.conf, you get enough time to choose which OS to boot. I hope this answers your doubt.
