"Did I mention Microsoft is throwing a lot of money at this launch? On Tuesday
morning, the software giant hired spandex-clad acrobats to drape Vista and
Office logos on the side of a building. Then they took their guests to the
swanky Cipriani banquet hall, across from Grand Central Station. Sitting in rows
inside the old Bowery Savings Bank building, about 150 reporters and
photographers dined on fare ranging from smoked salmon to spinach- and ricotta-
stuffed cannelloni. (The sea bass was wonderful; the lamb chops were a bit dry.)
The sound system boomed Gnarls Barkleyâs âCrazyâ (2006) and Sealâs âCrazyâ
(1991)."
And that was the party for VISTA. If the excitement over VISTA was this
(artificially) high, what might Vista 7 /really/ have in store? Well, it can run
XP, I guess... that's the main feature.
