    Does Windows 8 have hidden regional themes like in Windows 7 ???

    Not sure what you mean by "default regional themes" but I don't believe it is a feature, hidden or otherwise, in Windows 8, and I don't understand why it matters.  Plenty of themes are available at the link you posted.  Obviously, they can be downloaded to your computer.

    I was unable to find the "regional themes" on Windows 7 ultimate, myself.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

        Windows 7 comes with lots of new themes which can be accessed using Desktop Personalization window
