Which operation?  The "press any key," or the menu?

Unless you go the full hog, and make the whole system look identical to
Windows, they're going to notice that it's not.

As I mentioned, you can change the graphic background.  And you can
change what text is written in the menu.

If you don't really need to pick any choices from a menu, you can remove
the countdown, so it goes straight into booting something.

Try reading the GRUB manual.
