Were I a betting man, I'd guess that Microsoft will also release something
similar to Plus! for Vista that will have more themes available.

Just as they promised for XP but never really got around to doing in 5
years apart from the belated Royale colour theme for Tablet and
MediaCenter users...

You do have to admit though that the themes that they released for XP in the original Plus! were the lamest. There are much better themes done by third parties that blow away anything in the original Plus!, especially the Vista like themes that use Stardock's Windowblinds 5.01 program. It is not exactly like the Vista experience, but it gets as close as you are going to get running XP.

I agree 100%, William. However, have you ever received anything that was truly aesthetically pleasing that was designed by an engineer? I absolutely cherish my Valentine 1 radar detector, for instance, but it is ugly as a box of rocks and not intuitively ergonomic in the least. It functions flawlessly. Designed by an engineer.

I agree, I never did like the Plus(es)! I think they should be better or nicer than original themes.
