Actually in Windows Vista, if you choose the "No GUI boot", Windows will use the Aurora boot screen which is really nice, but adds about 30 seconds to your boot time. Microsoft ran into issues when developing and and decided to hide it by default. In Windows 7, you only get a black screen.

OHHH! So that's why my Vista PC takes so long to boot! Haha, I'd best disable that when I get home, heh.

How's it hidden?

Just open msconfig.exe and deselect "no gui-boot"

That's not hidden. That also doesn't answer my question. I didn't ask how do you enable it.
