If you have Windows Vista, you might have wondered by looking at the boot screen. It looks somehow prehistoric to Vista, the boot screen looks similar to a DOS interface. But with a little tweak, you can get the aurora screen as the boot image. The new screen says ‘Starting Windows Vista’ instead of ‘Microsoft Corporation’ like in the default boot screen and the image looks consistent with the Vista look.
