Looking to spice up your new Windows 7 installation? Microsoft has just released a set of free Windows 7 themes.
Those looking to spruce up their desktop with frames from around the world can grab international themes from more countries than originally included in Windows 7’s Release Candidate packages.
The full-fledged themes are specific downloads for Windows 7 users, but anyone can grab the wallpapers from Windows 7’s Personalization Gallery for their system.

Apparently, the official $29 Windows 7 Upgrade package for students is not working properly for many users. Instead of downloading an ISO image file, two bundles and a .EXE file are unpacked and don’t function properly.
A fix for some is to follow a guide from DownloadSquad here with details on burning the files to DVD.
Microsoft is offering refunds to affected users. You can click here to read Microsoft’s official response.
