To kick off the Tuesday launch of its new Windows Vista operating system and Office 2007 application suite, Microsoft took over the Terminal Building in New York City's West Chelsea neighborhood for a rather unusual celebration: aerial dancers hanging off the building and forming the logos for Vista and Office 2007.

With a "Vista-inspired" soundtrack in the background (whatever that means), the aerial performance begins.
Where can I get that "soundtrack"? Could be cool :yes:

As a reminder that Vista isn't the only new product being launched by Microsoft, an Office 2007 logo was raised by the dancers as well.

Despite subzero temperatures and a wind chill that turned extremities into icicles, a crowd of press, Microsoft enthusiasts and Vista beta testers from around the world showed up to watch the spectacle.

The aerial dancers, from the New York City-based Grounded Aerial Dance Theater, climb up the side of the building to prepare for the performance.

More of the Grounded aerial dancers climb up the Terminal Building, attached to bungee cords, in preparation for the Vista performance.

Against a blue sky worthy of a Windows desktop background, the aerial dancers descend from the wall of the Terminal Building onto the street.
