The Windows User Experience Guidelines in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511284.aspx only state that you shouldn’t use splash screens, except for unusually long-loading applications. A splash screen size that doesn’t get into the user’s way too much (i. e. don’t cover the whole screen, which should still hold true if the user has a lower screen resolution that the developer :)) should therefore be sufficient, if it is necessary at all.
