It's just little changed in theme/resource files, it boots straight to windows 11 for installer. Before Vista, the installer process on NT had three phases: 1. Optional DOS phase to bring minimal NTLDR environment up 2. "Micro" NT without Win32 API that ran only NTAPI (NE format executables et al) applications in the minimal console support (with the characteristic default of white on blue). This would do equivalent of "minimal install" on unices to the target disk, setting up proper HAL.DLL, boot time drivers, and setting up registry hives. 3. GUI installer that booted from hard disk with Win32 subsystem enabled.
