The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    1. Royale, Royale Noir and the newest Zune theme can be interesting for people who like official Microsoft signed themes.

    Note that Zune link I gave will actually do what Microsoft intended (er... install a new theme), and if you download the official zune theme from their site, you may end up in some problems :) read here:

    2. The good news for people who were waiting to install Vista on a new rig due to the restrictions with licensing (and activation):

    You may uninstall the software and install it on another device for your use. You may not do so to share this license between devices.

    3. And the last, but not the least - I just realised that I have joined a 4 digit posts club! Slowly following Chaz, Zaz and others.... :D So I consider this post as a celebration post (although it isn't my no. 1000) and I hope it delivered some good info to the NBR forum community :)

    Cheers,

    Ivan

    Thanks guys. I am glad you liked it! Some people find orange buttons a bit annoying, but I like the zune theme.

    Try Royale Noir (unfinished Microsoft theme) if you like black.

    And usapatriot, thanks for the image!
