Many people love customizing their computers, and changing the boot animation is just one way to do that. According to Microsoft, they will not support changing the Windows 7 boot animation--but that doesn't mean it can't be done!
In fact, thanks to the hacking skills of many people far more talented than I, it's now easier than ever to customize your Win7 boot animation and get rid of that boring Windows logo :P .
Here are the steps to create your very own custom animation. There are, of course, other ways to do this; I just find this method to be the easiest and quickest method.
*Sorry if it gets confusing around the Game Maker part; I forgot I had kept the previous strip in the same folder when I hit SELECT ALL. Just ignore everything related to my confusion and re-loading of the images :P *
And if you don't want to make your own animations, but you still want a custom animation you've found online, simply skip to Part 2 to learn how to use one.

*NOTE: Somehow the beginning of Part 2 got cut off. Between Part 1 and the beginning of this video, I simply chose File--Save As PNG to create a frame strip. *
