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

    • (macOS) Screen zoom was broken for me in beta 1 and it's now working properly in beta 2. In terms of performance and UI design/consistency, these betas are already much better than Tahoe.
    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.
