I like the black screen myself at least for bootup messages. I don't
know if the current versions of Windows still bugcheck with a blue or
blackscreen but I think we should try to do that with a bluescreen.

As for a judge believing that ReactOS is based on Windows I doubt we
would have trouble in court. Just take a look at how the IBM/Novell vs
SCO cases are going. Judges do not tend to be dumb, just corrupt and
if we get hauled before a dirty judge it won't matter how much we look
like Windows.
