The Windows 7 Boot Updater application was developed to be a small program that makes it easy to update the Windows 7 boot animation and text. 
You can easily change the boot animation to a graphic file or any other animation you like. Furthermore, Windows 7 Boot Updater allows you to change the text below the animation, its color, size and position.
