Windows Boot
Up Screen
Low Resolution
Windows boot up screen: Some people ask "why is the Windows
boot up screen in such a bad resolution?" The boot up menu
shows up in a 16 colour palette Bitmap image with a resolution of
640x480. This of course is a very low quality and usually peoples
pc's can handle a much higher resolution setting. The reason Windows
developers chose to use such a low resolution is so that the Operating
System was compatible with any platform. This of course means that
nearly anyone is able to have the blue screen of death appear if
they whish.
The 16 colour palette relates the amount of colors to the bits
necessary to represent the colors. The 16 colour palette does not
mean that there are 16-bits, but it means there are 16 colors. If
there are 16 different colors for the Windows boot up screen, then
there needs to be 4-bits (4^2=16) to have a 16 colour palette.
That is it, just a simple explanation of why the Windows boot up
screen is the way it is, and a simple run-down on bits in relation
to the colour palette... Courtesy of Nicefarts.
