Personally I find the Vista bootscreen quite appealing. However, for those who think otherwise, here are steps on how to display an alternative bootscreen:

1. Click on the start orb and type in “MSCONFIG” in the textbox.

2. Once the System Configuration tool loads, click on the Boot tab.

3. Under Boot Options check “No GUI Boot”.

4. Hit OK and reboot to see the new screen.

If you want o use your own high resolution boot screen then download the Vista Visual Master.
