To expand on nitzmahone's eexcellent points:

Completely replacing GINA is really a no-no using managed code. OTOH, it is quite possible to write a replacement GINA in C++ and have it call .Net code to do the grunt work.

Some years ago I used this technique to replace the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen with a fancy news service. My custom GINA was a proxy for the standard GINA. Most of the time it transparently passed calls on to the standard GINA. The exception was that it ran the .exe for the .Net app instead of displaying the ALT+DEL+CTRL screen, then waited for the .exe to terminate before displaying the logon screen.

With regret, I abandoned the project when it was clear that the work could not be directly applied to Vista.
