The Old New Thing : Where did the Windows Vista wallpaper images come from? - Interesting story about where the Windows Vista wallpaper images come from. Some came from Flickr users!
“So, how would you like one of your photos included among the default wallpapers in Windows Vista?” The Flickr artists were excited to be a part of Windows Vista

Why anyone would want to be a part of something so obviously flawed is beyond my comprehension. I mean not only has this operating system been tagged for the fraud it is, by copying Mac OS X, but it even steals the photos it uses for its desktop photos. Wow man, just wow.

Yes, Dean. It is mind boggling why people insist on inferior technology, though they have a variety of free, and not-s0-free options easily available.
I guess market share drives sales to create more market share. It will take a while for MS’s market share to attenuate.

So some of the only good things about Vista, don’t come from Microsoft? Typical.
For my part, I’ll be going MAC from now on, and I’ll convert my windows machines into Linux for sure…
Can’t even get it together to make their own wallpapers thats pathetic.
I’ve got some nicely design wallpaper for Lost,4400 and Heroes fans at my here
