Lars - Microsoft Did have a big launch event in London, headed by CEO Steve Ballmer, which had European themes and less flag waving. But I gather you don't consider the UK to be Europe.

The events of September 11th are a big deal here, in every walk of life, every day. That is particularly true in New York. The XP launch had been scheduled for New York before the terrorist acts occurred. Given the circumstances, I think Microsoft did a good job of balancing their business purpose with the emotions and concerns of the people local to the venue. I think your comments show a lack of sensitivity. The people of New York could care less if Europeans don't like "God Bless America" and frankly neither do I.
