I don't get the whole music sharing thing the zune is 'touting' since you've got all that DRM bullshit you have to deal with.

Not too bad. A nice change from the traditional blue and green. It installed easily and is easily customized. Shades of gray and orange - not bad with brown overtones.

I love the theme! It's got the Media Center style task bar which is great.

Nice for a change. My systray icons don't look so hot with a dark gray background though.

Yeah. This is ridiculous; there is absolutely no reason for it not to be compatible, except that whoever put together the installer was incompetent. :roll:

yeah, you know that religion of peace doesn't allow for that.

TOTALLY NOT necessary in here - the sad and perhaps ironic part is I myself AM Muslim.

On ANOTHER note...



its actually not that bad of a theme - i do like the Orange, and the overall theme reminds me from ubuntu - perhaps the MS art department has some linux fans ;)
