Microsoft patents have recently been hitting on a theme regarding what appears to be an animated splash screen.  More than one features the theme represented in the image below.



The image is incomplete, there seem to be frames missing with the patent filing.  It also doesn't feature any logos and there may be other final elements missing.  However it isn't currently used in any Microsoft product and the patent filings seem to be hitting on a theme of an explosion.

This may just be Microsoft doing due diligence and patenting a potential candidate, but what do you think?
