It won't touch office.
On a related note, Service Pack 1 for Office is out too from http://office.microsoft.com
It shouldn't break anything either.

This is rather nice. I didn't know anything about it, but it makes Windows look a lot ''fresher''.
The first official 'theme' for Windows XP since its release, in case you were wondering. You will need to download something to decompress it - I think I used Win Rar from download.com - and just plonk it in the Windows > Resources > Themes folder.
I actually haven't got SP2 yet, though. It doesn't appear in my Windows Update list thing.

IIRC you need to be using the new version of windows update to get SP2 from there.
Royale btw is the new theme for Media Center 2005. I personally think it's foul.

Shaded buttons look a bit naff though.
Any chance you could make the pixel size of that picture about 50% smaller? No-one likes vertical scrolling!

What do you want, a medal?Barrett wrote:I have just seen windows xp sp2 on download.com
Download.com is just a huge glorified catalogue of software files. It doesn't store any files itself, it just links to loads of others. Download SP2 from there, it'll still get it from Microsoft.
