Gather around kiddies!
Uncle Wil-B's gonna tell a nice nice story.
Once upon a time, there was this wee little ugly kid called Windows XP.
Every morning he woke up, An ugly Microsoft sign shows up on his face.
And Blue and Green squares runs around and around and around...
One day, he got tired of seeing it everyday so he came to Uncle Wil-B and said "Please take away those ugly blue and green squares and the big ugly Microsoft sign from my face." *cries*
Uncle Wil-B couldn't stand to see a wee ugly kid cry so he said OK...
and after a few minutes of tinkering... Tadaaaahh!

Proud to be a Pirate!
Uncle Wil-B changed the wee ugly kid's boot screen to this new fancy, piratey one.
And the wee ugly kid lived happily ever after. The End!
Props to swissboy for this cool bootscreen.
You can get it and more at ThemeXP.org
Installation instructions included with most of the files there. But in case you were wondering. It is quite easy to change the bootscreen. But if you're not careful, you might end up not being able to boot into your windows box.
Some things to remember:
An SP1 bootscreen is an SP1 bootscreen and won't work with non SP1 boxes. So don't interchange the files.
There are many ways to change the bootscreen. The boot.ini way (safe and easy) and the overwrite the old bootscreen file way (some risk involved). Choose the boot.ini way if you're not too familiar with tinkering with Windows system files.
Finally, read the instructions that come with the files.
After you're all done, you can be assured that the wee ugly kid won't be so ugly anymore. See you next time kiddies!
