Correct - I didn't mean to imply that you can edit Microsoft's boot screen. You can have it use yours instead of theirs. 
yeah, that is my intent.

Actually no :-(
To replace this string you would need to hack kernel binaries, and
that is still illegal :-(

But there is and was different mechanism that is allowed for you to
use.

I noticed that when I changed from SP1 to SP2, the boot screen
changed
from "XP embedded" to just "XP". I know that I cannot change the
boot
screen as per the EULA, but I am wondering if I can replace the SP2
boot screen with the SP1 boot screen so that it still would say "XP
embedded"? kevin



Actually, the licensing terms changed to allow you to replace the
boot
screen with your own.

As far as the "XP" -vs- "XP Embedded" screen difference, it's my
understanding (and I may be wrong) that it was done to make
localization
easier.  "XP" is a language independant name for the OS line.  The
word "Embedded" would probably need to be localized per language.
