CES: Microsoft logo aurora animation

There was a pretty cool ‘waiting’ animation for the Microsoft logo set against a moving aurora in the Microsoft booth at CES 2007. It was really subtle, but still cool. Without the Microsoft logo, that animation could make a nice DreamScene alternative to the busier aurora DreamScene.

Update: Might be coming as a DreamScene after all.

I’m trying to source it (with MS logo) - would make a great start to presentations/Vista demos

Enjoy CES!
