Shared Boot Animations?
« on: June 12, 2015, 08:15:20 am »
Hi Guys,

I'm finishing up shelling my bartop and I was wondering if there are any publicly shared Win7 Boot Animation files available?

I'm currently using a Space Invaders set, but I'd love to see what else if available.

Any links?

I think most of us have found that boot animations, while nice in concept, become tiresome in actuality.  Oh, and that anything longer than 10 secs is too long. :cheers:

I don't disagree. I've got everything except the mouse cursor removed at the moment... there's just that awkward pause when you kinda second guess if it's booting up or frozen... even with faster booting SSDs

boot animations look cool but experience has shown me that any special purpose PC I use be it HTPC, emulator box, steam PC, ect end up being booted up long before company see's them so they end up being basically for me so i don't bother with them anymore.
