Been a while since I last mentioned this, but I cry every time I see someone running XP with one of the default crayola themes.
For pete’s sake folks, at least go get the free Zune theme from Microsoft. Install it, dump the default (and hideous) background. Heck, if nothing else just go with a plain black background. It’ll be worth it and your desktop will look so much nicer.
Friends don’t let friends go Crayola.

I liked the Zune but I also liked bricopacks.

Very stable on my machines.
The bricopack stuff looks pretty sweet. I wonder if they work with the (somewhat) newer XP SP3 though? Didn’t see mention of it on the precautions page.
And hey, I thought you were a Mac guy?
A mac guy? No kool-aid on my lips, oh no
Haven’t tried it with SP3 here. My daughter is happy with Zune – and terrible desktop images of girlie / disney / MTV type stuff.
As for OS, I still prefer XP despite 18 months of Apple. Ubuntu is starting to look nice though and once I’ve got round to buying a HD I’ll put that into the old Dell I have. And the sooner I can think of why I need 3 monitors the sooner I do it.
