    Has anyone tried Stardocks BootSkin on Vista?
    The site says its for XP ...

    But on the web there are tons of Vista skins for Bootskin.


    Any idea?

    Here's the Website: http://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/

    Awesome find man, I've been wondering if there was a custom bootskin for vista. Have you tried it yet? Some of the skins on that page looks nice.

    The Stardock program has been updated. It's now called LogonStudio. There is a version for XP and a separate version for Vista.

    yeah i have tried it and it works quite well :D
    also, if you want to ever go back to the default bootscreen, you just copy the backup file and its restored - with no problems
