Bing Turns Europe Aerial Photos into an RSS Windows 7 Theme

Written by Alan Sunday, 29 January 2012 06:00

Not long ago Microsoft released RSS-driven Windows 7 Themes and now they are beginning to build up a library of them.  An RSS theme brings a whole new dimension to the Windows 7 theme concept, with pictures constantly being added via RSS, which is a syndication feed normally associated with media files like podcasts.  This allows new pictures to be added dynamically to a theme.

Microsoft have been continuously adding new themes to their Windows 7 library with a constant stream of new, and timely, themes based on current events like recently released movies and games, as well as seasons and holidays.  With the addition of RSS the themes from Bing can now instantly update newly added pictures that will show up on your desktop.  In this case, the new RSS theme is aerial photos of Europe.  Microsoft describes the new theme like this:

“Enjoy a fresh perspective with these breathtaking aerial images of the landscapes of Europe, including Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the UK, and more. This free Windows 7 desktop theme exhibits the very best of Bing Maps aerial photography.”

The new theme will contain an ever grown number of pictures, all of which are aerial shots of locations in Europe.  All Windows 7 themes are free to download and use.  They are compatible with Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate editions.
