While I was cribbing about the lack of publicity and promotional events for the general public, the engineers and folks at Microsoft’s Hyderabad center were apparently having a lot of cool fun for the launch. Here is a video where the Windows logo was unveiled using dominos:

From the description:
A group of around 22 passionate employees from across Microsoft’s Hyderabad campus designed and executed the amazing feat of unveiling the Windows 7 logo using 7000 domino(es)
Damn neat!
UPDATE:
Came across another video where someone has created one of the bundled Windows 7 wallpapers in Rangoli (colored sand art)
tipped by @mswindows. Another cool vid I say
