thats one of the reason why microsoft is microsoft , and apple is apple ........ :laugh:

Ok, I cant be bothered to read the whole thread, so excuse me if I repeat something.

1. This is old - it has been floating around for a few months now

2. It isnt the actual wallpaper - it was ripped from a screenshot of the desktop or something like that.

3. It is a tree - who cares?! :blink:

yep it is older than 4088. it was also shown during winhecsessions (4067)

Goodness...I'm appalled at the stupidity of some of the responses in this thread. Do you people even realize this is an internal test build? It's not even meant to be seen by you. We have more than a year to wait before LH goes gold. Besides, I think the last thing MS would be concerned about at such an early stage of development is a petty wallpaper. Sheesh...

The wallpapers in Mac OS X don't look all that great either. The ones that aren't some blue pattern/wave thing look too fake due to way too much photoshopping. The ones Microsoft uses are unedited (for the most part) shots so that they actually look like something natural. Sure, it sucks that they use low-res JPEGs, but that's not what makes a good wallpaper.

I seriously doubt you'll find beaches/desserts with a moon and blue sky like that. Same goes for the space 1 wallpaper from the first Plus! pack and Windows has a lot of abstract photoshopped pictures too like peace (the light blue/geenish one).

Soooo that brings us to my question!

What the f*ck are you talking about?

Ascent and Luna do look pretty good, although the touch-up work is evident. The ones I was talking about were wallpapers like Autumn, Stonehedge, and Tulips. Azul, Bliss, Radiance, and Wind are also pretty good but the colours seem too good to be true. They're not as bad as the completely fake "nature" wallpapers in OS X though. They don't give a natural impression at all due to the heavy photoshopping (assuming they're not renders).

Woah ! Holy crap, a crappy low-resolution wallpaper which doesn not even remotely resemble the originals quality, and looks obvoiously faked out of a small 1024x768 version creamhackered released on a fake teaser pic of a 408x build, damn we got something now.

5 pages of bull****, really - pathehtic.

* LH 4074 <~-Real-&-Fake Builds with Virus-~>

How can u tell if its fake or real, they look similar :blush:

em... cuz mi friend's longhorn 4074 setup looks strange :unsure:

it says porn on CDs or wuz it removable storage / back-up in the part where microsoft brags about the "newst and easiest to use windows YET" while it sets up with the gray screen. :ninja:

heh, 2things. 1st. this is old. second yours IS NOT 1600 you resized it. way to go lamer..

*pets his real BMP

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂
    • Thank gawd AT&T never worked with the US gov....
    • Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
