> If the password doesn't match, why not just show a big red cross..

It wouldn't look as cool :)

I was actually considering changing the text color on the password field on a match. Starting with gray and turning it black if there's a match, but it seemed to be too strongly implying that the password was 100% correct. And so I settled on something a bit more ambiguous.
