Windows 7 Build 695x Boot Screen Video

I posted this over at Geeksmack

So last week, winfuture posted about Windows 7 build 6954 having a new boot screen. Ever since then, people have been wanting to see exactly what this new boot screen looks like. I can tell you it looks pretty nifty. It is basically 4 animating balls that come together and form a glowing windows flag, making for a pretty cool effect.
I recently had a chance to film this boot screen in action, so without further ado, watch the video of the new Windows 7 boot screen below. Excuse the iffy quality, had to do this with my digital camera.

So, looks like Microsoft removed it from soapbox, so now a youtube video is available below.  Thanks to whoever uploaded this for me, I tried last night but it wasn’t processing.

    Pretty cool but I still think I like the current 6801 one more. It’s just so sleak and stylish. Is there any way to keep it?

    On Windows 7 Boot: That was the lettuce. And the Meat? As of, I watch all graphic user interface (GUI)as a Vista upgraded. User needs new tools. OS is a platform to run applications, consequently is necessary to have not more blue/black screen in order to preserve our data.
