    I believe it is just like that...A blank screen with the loading bar. I was thinking the same thing as you when I got my notebook with vista =)

    Lol I guess it's supposed to be blank. Any pc/laptop I've seen with vista has got the blank loading screen.

    All the systems we got running Vista, have the blank load screen. About 170, most are premium, but like 25 are buisness, I haven't seen Ultimate but iI assume it is the same.

    You can get a spare battery for around $100 CAD (so it should be a bit less USD).
