You can also set it to automatically use a different image, pretty cool. The only thing missing it the ability to make it actually show *progress*... Eh well. Oh, to answer my own question:

What about customizing the animation? I'm more interested in that, since it could make it nicer (i'm not a fan of the default animation, xubuntu's is much cooler, imo). Also, that should be "sudo cp -r /usr/share/images/xsplash /usr/share/images/xsplash.bk", since it's a directory (doesn't work for me without it). Cool post!

Somewhat related: As of Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2, they offer OpenDocument Format support (the format that OpenOffice uses) with the option of making it the default type to use. I know that Windows will probably never follow the package management scheme, but I think one area of interest could be a public API for hooking your application up to Windows Update. That could alleviate a lot of projects having to implement automatic update features themselves. Another addition could be integrating Add/Remove Programs with the Microsoft website---they could host (or point to) software on the server, list it in Add/Remove Programs, and allow you to select and install whatever looks interesting. It doesn't require them to adopt a new model for the management aspect, just some patches to existing software and a place to host stuff. I think they're interesting ideas. :) Yeah, I *really* would have liked to see some support for Ogg/Vorbis/Theora/Flac/whatever.
