Windows XP Theme lovers can rejoice. Microsoft has finally released a new theme for Windows XP called Zune. This theme is quite good. It looks like a dark version of the Royale theme (but it changes the Start Button color to orange). I have included some screenshots for you to gander at plus I have included a direct link so you can download this new XP Theme free for your own PC.

| | The newer versions of Windows Media Player (versions 10 & 11) are great in many regards, but when it comes to their library capabilities they fall short (and that is putting it nicely).
