This thread over at LQ might be helpful. It shows how to change your
default grub choice for *the next reboot only*.
So if you boot into linux by default, you can always run a script that
will tell grub to boot Windows (or any non-default kernel) for the
next boot.
[There's a script I wrote, and another poster refers to an earlier
command-line only script. Or you can just see how it works and run grub
at a command line.]
