Is this the new Windows 7 boot screen?

When Vista's boot screen was revealed in an early beta, many were confused by its simplicity. This is the best Microsoft could come up with?

If this video isn't a fake, that approach seems to have gone to out the window (pardon the lame pun).

Hmm, nothing for soapbox, and flash tags don't seem to be working either. Here's the .swf if anyone else can figure it out: http://images.video.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf

Hey Slimy, I added the video to your post

If you wanted to know how to use youtube links then take the video URL: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=j7oDvY1-XeY

Then use the part after the = sign here, exactly as shown below

[youtube]j7oDvY1-XeY[/youtube]

You messed up try again

Hope it helps
