I didn't know they'd also redone PM. I also had
that one. Powerquest was sleazy about that. They
carefully divided the functionality between two
different, overpriced programs, so that neither
was quite fully functional by itself. (They even
claimed the software was licensed to only one hard
disk. $50 for a hard disk and $70 for the utility to
partition it!)

When I moved to XP I did some research and found
BootIt. (I've also used multi-booting for many years.)
I've been very happy with that, and it's been updated
to handle the differences in Vista+, while still fitting
on a floppy -- though I boot it from a CD. Unfortunately,
Vista/7 is a bloated mess. An XP image fits on a CD,
and that's with most or all of my software installed.
The smallest Win7 image I've been able to make
requires 2 DVDs.
