Tech Tip of the Week: Unearth Region-Specific Windows 7 Themes

Windows 7 ships with several unique themes and desktop backgrounds, ranging from the traditional scenic landscapes to creepy character art. In all, though, there are only about 13 accessible themes, which can't really cover the broad spectrum of individual taste. While it's a breeze to tweak themes to something you like, having more stock configurations to choose from certainly wouldn't hurt, right?

I remember having plus on my windows 95 computer, it didn't do much, but with new iconpacks and windows border styles really made working in the computer more enjoyable.

Plus! came with an old Dell XP machine I bought years ago and I actually bought Plus! for my first build in which I installed XP.

I just tested this out on my work machine, but it only found Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and South Africa in the results? Is this because I'm running the Windows 7 Enterprise version? no biggie as you can still get then for free off the MS site....

The Plus pack also had the first version of Windows' Task Scheduler - not that anyone used it.

My memory with Plus was the slowness of the PC.
