Microsoft Windows Vista made its Belgian launch in the Brussels Atomium tonight, a 334 feet metal structure representing a crystallised molecule of iron by the scale of its atoms, magnified 150 thousand million times. One guest called the Belgian launch “boring hype”.
Unfortunately, only VIPs and a limited number of invited guest were welcome at the Vista Belgian launch party, which featured interactive shows in six huge spheres of the Brussels Atomium. In contrast, the New York launch was visible for a more general public .
I’m currently trying to get in touch with an invited guest in order to get some inside-shots online, but I do notice a declining online interest in the Vista hype. At twice the US retail price, Vista’s pricing in Europe is absurd.

hihi
ik was er, en ik heb eerlijk gezegd weinig opgestoken over Vista - te veel afleiding - het was een heel leuk feestje!
[Comment from the author: "Thank you for commenting in Dutch
Apparently the event focused on "the experience", leaving this invited guest with little more then he already knew before entering the Atomium. BTW: if you are willing to share any pictures covering the Brussels Vista launch event, please do post any relevant links."]
