Windows Vista Wallpapers Collection
Fri, 03/02/2007 - 11:46 — Ciprian
Today we are very pleased to announce that our site is hosting a great collection of Windows Vista wallpapers that did not make the cut into the final Windows Vista Collection. The author of these great wallpapers is Hamad Darwish - a talented young man from Kuwait with a passion for photography.
In 2005 he was approached by Microsoft to work on the wallpaper collection for Windows Vista. From the final list of wallpapers included in Windows Vista, two of them are his work. The rest of his submissions did not make it even though some of them are just gorgeous. If you would like to know more about him and his collaboration with Microsoft you can read this interview.
To download his pictures you can use the following links:
RapidShare

Chip Magazine (Germany)

Also, if you would like to purchase any of his work, don't hesitate to contact him using the e-mail address provided on his personal page.

Save the photos in the pictures folder.
To set a picture as a background - open it, right click and then "select as background".

WHY don't you share the $$$ that will be charged after the 40 day trial.... A big waste of time if no one knows what something is going to cost them.
What?
What are you talking about? What 40 day trial? What $$$?
Fee for 'trying' pictures
Are you serious? Must be a 'duh' moment.
1) When has Microsoft ever given ANYTHING away? and
2) Why do you think Bill Gates is the richest man in America?
LMAO @ $$$ & 40 day trial
Dude, did you misread the winzip splash screen as that the pix would cost something after 40 days?
LMAO
thanks, that gave me the first good laugh of the day
what's the subject?
I'm lost (in translation). What is the subject of discussion?
There is nothing here 'on trial' or payed. Those pictures are completely free to download and use. And they don't have anything to do with Microsoft. The author of those pictures is Hamad Darwish.
