One of the new features included in Windows 7 is a nifty idea called Theme Packs.
Theme packs are cabinet files with an extension of .themepack, and consist of a .theme as well as any number of image, sound, icon, and mouse cursor files. Windows 7 recognizes this file format and will switch the user’s theme to the theme contained inside when opened. -wikipedia
In other words theme packs are a simple way to share your theme with others. For example, Microsoft has provided a number of free theme packs including a Coca-Cola and Ferrari theme. If you are running Windows 7, you can simply download the theme pack and double-click to install and run the theme.
Now that you know what a theme pack is and how to install it, I have a huge theme pack for you to enjoy. It consists of 218 338 stunning wallpapers that I’ve collected from the various Windows 7 beta builds all the way up to the current released version. It also includes wallpapers from the international versions of Windows 7. Currently the theme is set to automatically change the picture every 1 hour, although this can easy be changed to suit your taste. For example, you could have it change once a day, and you wouldn’t see the same wallpaper twice for 218 338 days. 
So what are you waiting for?

One of the awesome time saving features in Windows 7 is the inclusion of the built-in Disc Image or ISO Burner utility. However, I have not been able to get it burn to my stack of Sony CD-R disks that I have. It will give the following error message.
The disc image didn’t burn successfully because an error occurred. The requested operation is only valid with supported media. (Error code: 0xC0AA0402).
If, however, I use one of the Memorex DVD-R disks that I have, it completes successfully. Weird.
Does anyone know what’s going on here?
Update: According to this MSDN Page, that error number equals E_IMAPI_DF2DATA_INVALID_MEDIA_STATE. Of course that doesn’t tell us much.
