blog.flickr.com — One good reason to consider an upgrade to Vista, Microsoft's just-released upgrade to Windows: the default set of desktop wallpapers it ships with include several from Flickr members. Long Zheng has a blog post with some examples, and Microsoft's Raymond Chen has more details.

@masamunecyrusYea but you'd be hardpressed to run Vista at any level of attractiveness with the 512 macs start atOh and there was that little thing where OS X Tiger will run decently on 256 and still be visually comparable with vista... [and yes, we know you cant buy that any more. But macs with 256 still exist]

Why do all the wall papers have such crappy JPEG compression, I mean seriously you can clearly see it?...

This is one of the lamest stories I have ever seen hit the front page of Digg. What the hell is the matter with you people?Go have a drink, listen to some Rammstein, then come back and read this story. Then you'll understand how lame it is.Did Bill Gates pay you to plant this story, or are you just a pathetic uncompensated fanboy?Don't post another story like this, because if you do, I will come to your house and piss all over your Vista PC until it melts. Then you will have nothing to put these wallpapers on unless you print them out and put them on... yes YOUR WALL!f**k Vista. f**k Microsoft. f**k wallpapers. f**k Rammstein. And f**k fanboys.If you Digg this down, you are gay. Unless you really are gay, then I hope you get slapped unconscious by huge, floppy lesbian titties.Is that a good note to end on? And you thought this was going to be some lame story about Vista wallpapers, instead you get floppy lesbian titties! Isn't Digg great?<a class="user" href="http://www.projectpussy.com/lesbian-movies/ashley-and-faith.jpg">http://www.projectpussy.com/lesbian-movies/ashley-and-faith.jpg</a>

Hopefully, in the "near future", you will be seeing some of my work in some of Microsoft's "FINEST" products. Enough said :) -HDFlickr.com

Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away? Or am I wrong in reading Flickr's post as tongue-in-cheek?

So - a new set of Desktop wallpapers are considered a 'good reason' to upgrade? C`mon, author - what have you been smoking? Still going 'oooh all those colors'?The windows-world is sick. Very. Sick.

Yeah you can do all that if you want a way over-sharpened (there are speckles in the sky, it should be a nice gradient, the tree has halos around the branches), over-saturated image with dust on the sensor (at least three large spots in the upper right corner of the frame).
