Wooden blinds are an all time classic for dressing windows. Once thought of and considered to be a cheap window dressing (think along the lines of bamboo roller blinds and student digs) today's wooden blinds are still inexpensive however, their kudos has moved up within the world of interior design and they are now being viewed in a completely different light.
With a wide range of colours, styles and design the humble wooden blind is being used in many interiors either as the sole window dressing or in conjunction with cheap curtains to create window dressings which are practical and functional.
With new designs and revolutionary technology it's now possible to find wooden blinds made from lightweight flexible wood-weave, grasses and reeds which can be used to make Roman blinds due to the suppleness and flexibility of the materials.
Of course manufacturers are also leaning heavily towards making wooden blinds from renewable sources and well managed forestry to keep ahead of consumer and interior design trends.
I think the best aspect of wooden blinds is their ability to blend with any colour scheme and it's been said, on more than one occasion, by interior designers that those who struggle to find a window dressing colour to match their décor should opt for wooden blinds as they provide a natural and alluring look to windows of all shapes and sizes.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
