logon, yes

'03 uses the classic logon screen and xp uses the new logonui screen

boot, yes

the progress bar is a shade of grey instead of blue / green

the main branding bmp is also predictably different

desktop, kinda

by default '03 doesn't use themes so you're in classic mode

the start menu default places and pinned items are also different

my computer doesn't show my documents or common tasks and the details view is the global default

overall, yes there are quite a few changes

hardware acceleration is disabled

drive mounting is disabled

ieharden and shutdown event tracker are both enabled

need any specifics ?

just ask :)
