Why no boot logo for Vista?

[FragTek]

I have always been curious to know why M$ did not include a Window$ logo on their Vi$ta boot screen? I know that they have an alternate boot screen that can be enabled, but still.... Just never made any sense to me, it looks so tacky and unfinished. What was I was loading again? Oh yeah, Vi$ta....

Vista IS unfinished.

I always did miss my boot logo when booting

Vista IS finished, they just decided to call it Windows 7 instead

Being slightly serious.....

What it's probably down to is that all the windows' dos loading screens are inherently the same thing since.. well the 1st windows that had them. They're a 8 bit color variation of the screensaver idea. Loading color bar and so on.

U can get tools that will allow u to customize these.

Their theory maybe that with the Vista logo popping up after it, and the lower booting times (if u got the good hardware), the pre-loading screen only needs to be basic.

Short answer - the Vista logo doesn't look good in 8 bit. (even tho Leopard's can be done in 2/4 bit)
