Think about it: if you are using the installer frequent enough to worry about how it look like, what are you doing? Reinstalling your OS every several months? On the other hand, the FBSD installer is very Microsoft-ly, the WinXP installer doesn't have any fancy graphics at first boot, where you do the partition/fs-format stuff - it only display a nice Microsoft Ad thing when it starts actually installing, which I always leave it by itself anyway.
