The Windows Vista BootScreen is pointless, but Microsoft decided to hide a more visually appealing boot screen that can easily be enabled with very little trouble. I'm not sure why they didn't make the boot screen better.
If you really want a better boot screen, you can check out my article on creating a custom boot logo.
Here's the default boot screen:

[smg id=6236]

And here's the hidden one, called "Aurora"

[smg id=6237]

All you have to do is type msconfig into the start menu search box, and hit enter.

[smg id=6238]

Click the Boot tab, and then check the "No GUI boot" checkbox.

[smg id=6239]


Hit OK and reboot the computer. You should see the new boot screen immediately.
Note: You may get a Windows Defender error on the next startup. You can enable the system config utility using the tray icon and this error will go away.

I will update my vista boot image in a moment from now !!!  :yes
