New chinese bootloader, alternative to Chameleon?

Boot Think!
Looks good close to Boot Camp and its reported to be able to boot anything including XP on a separate drive.
Wish I would knew how to read chinese...

I tried it briefly last night by installing it on a usb stick and copying over kexts from my EFI partion. It seems to support dsdt, haven't tested with EFI strings or smbios.plist as yet.

Aesthetically it's much closer to the real Mac bootloader, even has the same sliding transition when switching between drives. It also shares the keyboard like holding down C to boot a cd.

Going to have a longer play tonight - looks very promising
