Booting strait to windows?

I recently installed bootcamp on my MacBook, It let me install everything, however now when I start up the computer, it doesnt give me a bootloader or anything, It just boots strait to windows. I have all my stuff backed up, so if I need to format and start over, its not a biggie, but I'd perfer not to spend the few hours doing that. Any other ideas? 3rd party boot loaders that work well you might recommend? Another way I'm not seeing?

I realize that your post is a little old but I wanted to point out that mine does the same thing. My solution is to go into control panel and select startup disk followed by mac osx. Hope it helps... though, you probably already figured it out.

It's easy, just hold the option (alt) key during startup and you get the bootloader.
