OK, give me sources of Windows bootloader 'cause I need, for example, draw a green animated dragon instead MS logo. And put this dragon inside Cortana logo.

I have actually changed the graphics of the windows boot sequence, back when I worked on an OEM image. A lot of OEMs do it.

It used to be possible to change the boot screen on Windows 9x :)
