Microsoft is gonna get all angry over this one! But some enterprising Microsoft fanboi has posted online all the pictures that are not only included in the RTM version of Windows Vista, but also for the RC2 version of Vista as well.

Of note, Microsoft has taken their copying of Apple to a whole new level with the inclusion of a particular desktop picture.

Hmmmmmmm.

UPDATE: It seems that the uploaded picture in question was not released in any Windows build. Same on your MSFT fanboi!

    Hmm . . . I’ve never seen this one in a release . . . Oh well, guess I missed it . . .

    I’ve been a beta tester for Vista for the past 6 months, and was given RTM, and this wallpaper is NOT included.

    As much as you guys want MS to copy Apple, they didn’t stoop this low ;).

  3. GuyHersh says:

    Yup, i just checked again.

    Theres only around 29 different wallpapers that come with Vista, +7 that are widescreen versions of some of them.

    Most of those in that Flickr photo stream aren’t included with Vista.

    Ya I’ve been running betas on this OS since pre-longhorn, and that image has NEVER been included as a background.

    Apple is like every dumb chick with a camera that thinks it is taking meaningful pictures and that a dewdrop hasen’t been photographed to death. I mean that picture is just plain horrible.

    Some time ago i found some similarity between a Windows Vista wallpaper and a Mac OS X wallpaper. This post brings that to my memory, so i made a post on muy blog. Here you can see both wallpapers and judge if they look or not similar.

    By the way, my blog is in spanish, but since we’re talking about images, it doesn’t matter. Feel free to comment in english if you want…

    Well, i don’t really care what any1 thinks about Microsoft copying apple, bc we all know that apple copied Microsoft in lots of ways anyway, and a new 1 i discovered recently is that Apple’s ”Finder Application” is not only copying explorer but also Microsoft already had a application called Finder in Microsoft Office 2000, plus the fact that every1 is pointing out what Microsoft has ”copied” from Apple, when they havn’t copied they hav taken and improved ideas from the Mac OS just like Apple did, when they made the new Mac OS. so fu*k u!
