Why is there no splash screen when Vista first boots up, I see nothing on
the screen but a black background and the progression bar in black and white
only.

I do not have enough hardware to run aero. Is that the reason or will there
be one in the future?

I believe it has been mentioned that there used to be a logo/boot screen but
it was removed...

I HATE haveing a black screen, especially after the progression bar leaves
but before the desktop loads. I have been close to resetting the computer a
couple of times.

By the time Vista is RTM it will have a splash screen. It may well have one
in time for RC1.

The screen you see is the logo screen but the logo has been removed. Out to
the cleaners.
