[HighestOfHigh]

With studies showing that up to half of all computer owners give their personal computers a custom treatment, Infiniti, Porsche and Ferrari have teamed with Microsoft to provide brand-inspired backgrounds, slide shows, screen savers and color customization as part of the new Windows 7 desktop theme gallery.

This is the first time that Microsoft has made the packages available to partner companies. The special Infiniti theme pack, for example, includes images of various Infiniti vehicles such as the futuristic 2009 Essence Concept.

The automakers see this as an opportunity to help promote themselves around the globe but also as a way to emphasize the growing belief that technology is an essential ingredient for modern luxury vehicles.

Microsoft teams up with automakers for Windows 7 theme packs

Microsoft has been in the car business for years, supplying specialized infotainment systems to automakers like Ford and Fiat. But the door swings both ways as a handful of automakers have released special theme packages for the new Windows 7 operating system.

So far Infiniti, Porsche, Ferrari and Ducati have all created custom themes for Windows 7, including desktop wallpapers, slide shows, screen savers and color schemes. Of course, automakers aren't the only companies taking part, with themes also available from Coca-Cola and Pepsi, the upcoming film Avatar, as well as Microsoft's own brands Bing, Gears of War and Zune.
