We thought you might like this. Microsoft has a free Angry Birds theme for Windows 7 PCs now. We particularly like the sound effects. Windows Themes are a library of images and sounds that lets you customize your desktop wall paper, and alert sounds. You can download the theme from the Micrsoft website here.

Speaking of Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio has been on an award-winning spree lately. The game won the title of “Best Mobile” at the Golden Joystick Awards 2011 in London as well as the iLounge Reader’s Choice 2011 award.
