I agree. Smoke and mirrors has been used for quite some time in a competing product (and not only MS.) I hate not being able to use the product when the GUI is presented. I don't mind splash screens where they show something other than a static "Welcome to XXX program". In the Mac OS X version, a bar moves across the bottom showing the load status.
