In Vista, there appears to be no more bootscreen. This makes the boot times shorter, according to Microsoft. I must admin, my new PC is very fast at booting, much faster than the XP.
Should you however want to enable the bootscreen anyhow, here's how...
1. Press Win+R, type msconfig and press Enter.
2. In the "System Configuration" window, click on the Boot tab.
3. Select your Windows Vista installation and under "Boot options", check "No GUI boot". Now click OK
4. Now, a dialog will appear. Check "Don’t show this message again", and then click on Restart.
5. Your computer will now reboot, and you will see the Aurora boot screen with text that says "Starting Windows Vista".
Tada!
