Drop125....as I recall you suggested that SD talk to MS to get its permission to use a "cracked" file for bootscreens. As Frogboy noted, SD had discussed replacing or "cracking" an MS file to use msstyles in WindowBlinds back when XP was known as Whistler and MS had said it would not approve. So MS' position on that sort of thing was clear long ago. And it hasn't changed. So getting "permission" from MS to use a cracked version of its file for bootscreens wasn't on the table.
And I don't recall that you were "FLAMED" as you now claim. At least, here are those threads in case anyone's interested:

And while SD has consulted with MS in the past and now on this issue, the approach SD ran by MS for its proposed bootscreen app does not involve replacing or cracking MS proprietary files. So things weren't quite as you portray them and now seem to want to get "credit" for.
