How To Enable Hidden Boot Screen in Windows Vista
The default boot screen of Windows Vista is a black screen containing just a progress bar and the text “Microsoft Corporation”. Those of you who are tired of this boring default look of the Windows Vista Boot Screen, can enable the hidden boot screen.

I’m confused why Microsoft makes some of the choices that they do. With all of the Aero hype and new style press notably trying to look as good as the Mac I wonder why they’d leave the boot screen black with just a progress bar. Anyway, great tip.

This is a cool tip, but why did microsoft hide it, it should be deafault. They need to make the Areo scheme less memory consuming as well as deafault this.
