It is possible to get a 'picture' for the loading screen. Its available right
in Vista, its just toggled off.

Go to Start, in the text box type 'msconfig'

Switch to the boot tab

Check 'No GUI boot'

Click OK, Restart

In place of the animated loading bar, you'll get a Vista 'aurora' background
and 'Starting Windows Vista' text at the bottom of the screen. No animations.

This is normal and expected behavoir.
There is alot of "fit and finish" work still to be done including
updating icons, boot screens and a whole host of other things.
