    There didn't seem too many themes to choose from, I have it off MSDN so is this the final version or will they add more stuff when it is officially released? as also there are no games (not that im solitare crazy!) or is this something to do with them having to strip the OS down because of other companies complaining about fair competition although Media Player still comes with the OS? and may I add Media Player works very well with my TV tuner!

    You're missing out. The updated games are roooood! :D

    Nah you have to download WLM on the RC.

    Does the Pro version have a good choice of aero desktop themes? Think RC just has USA,Japan, Germany, Britain and Nature, or similar.

    Yeah on the RC i think they just gave you either nature or USA and then directed you to that site youve just linked to, except that page used to say that there would be loads more bundled with the actual release, or words to that effect.

    Ah right. I thought you had managed to get your hands on an actual release copy, rather than 7100, which is what I'm using.

    So it's a functional three year old operating system?

    Probably not the best description if you're hoping to entice people to use it. :p

    Bet you're gutted no one took the bait:rotfl:.

    You could say that about every operating system that precedes the current one though
