Yay for video. :)

I agree with most of what has been said already, but another small but
important details I wanted to raise:

At 00:00:23, the computer is started.
Couple seconds later, we see a spinning animation on the computer screen
which looks a lot like Windows boot animation.

My own experiences are that when you see these spinning balls, you've
failed pressing the right key at the right time: Windows is booting
and you won't see the menu. Has this changed since the last time I
tried?

How about not showing spinning balls but some kind of generic laptop
brand logo which I think would more accurately reflect what users
can expect to see on the screen?

HTH,
