  • @hkarthik GoW2 will support up to 10 in multiplayer. An improvement from 8, but I wish they would've doubled it.
  • @hkarthik Weekly GoW2 matches work for me, but I already know I'll be on every night anyway.

Zune Desktop Theme

Thursday, November 30 2006

I don't know if you're into the Zune player or not, but Microsoft has put out a really sharp-looking XP desktop theme based on the media player (thanks to James for the hookup). It simply installs as another desktop theme in your Display Options; no need for a third-party program like WindowBlinds or anything like that. If you're using Windows Media Player 11 then you've already got an idea of what it looks like. For a better visual, check out the picture of my start menu:

Overall, the theme is pretty sweet. Very sharp, crisp, and clean. I highly suggest it.
