Microsoft Windows Vista Wallpapers

Wallpaper from Microsoft Windows Vista

Windows Vista Wallpapers The best thing about Vista is its wallpapers

Microsoft has announced that Windows Vista will be broadly available as a stand-alone product or pre-installed on new PCs on January 30, 2007. Windows Vista will be made available to Volume License customers later in the month of November 2006.

Microsoft started work on their plans for Windows Vista (”Longhorn”) in 2001, prior to the release of Windows XP. It was originally expected to ship sometime late in 2003 as a minor step between Windows XP (codenamed “Whistler”) and “Blackcomb” (now known as Windows “Vienna”). Gradually, “Longhorn” assimilated many of the important new features and technologies slated for “Blackcomb”, resulting in the release date being pushed back several times. Many of Microsoft’s developers were also re-tasked with improving the security of Windows XP.

After “Longhorn” was named Windows Vista, an unprecedented beta-test program was started, involving hundreds of thousands of volunteers and companies. In September 2005, Microsoft started releasing regular Community Technology Previews (CTP) to beta testers. The first of these was distributed among 2005 Microsoft Professional Developers Conference attendees, and was subsequently released to Microsoft Beta testers and Microsoft Developer Network subscribers. The builds that followed incorporated most of the planned features for the final product, as well as a number of changes to the user interface, based largely on feedback from beta testers.

Windows Vista was deemed feature-complete with the release of the “February CTP“, released on February 22, 2006, and much of the remainder of work between that build and the final release of the product focused on stability, performance, application and driver compatibility, and documentation. Beta 2, released in late May, was the first build to be made available to the general public through Microsoft’s Customer Preview Program. It was downloaded by over five million people. Two release candidates followed in September and October, both of which were made available to a large number of users.

UPDATES

2006 Nov 26: I’m overwhelmed by the kind words, links to this article and of course for all the bookmarks on Del.icio.us Popular for both this article and the Flickr Vista Wallpaper Set.

Nice catch.

BTW, if you start using up major bandwidth, feel free to give me an email and I can host it (1 TB b/w).
Brajeshwar November 26th, 2006 at 8:32 am 2

Hi Shorty,

Thanks for your offer. However, I think I am still within the 1TB /mo limit of the new (mt)’s (gs) server. My site already serves roughly between 45Gb to 50GB /mo and this new vista wallpaper download is adding just about 30GB of data transfer which is expected to lower as time passes.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the offer. I’m also fine if you simply want to re-host the files for people to download (I love this whole sharing thingy) and just give a link back here that they can download from here too.

And yes, do let me know if you post the same so I can give a link there just in case my bandwidth kaputs.
Brajeshwar November 27th, 2006 at 6:51 am 3

Hey Shorty, I underestimated the bandwidth flow. As of today, it has already drank more than 200+ GB.
Eber November 27th, 2006 at 3:01 pm 4

Man, you see how things are. 200 GB of downloads that people do and noone makes a single comment here. That’s sad. Selfish people.

Well, i am not here because i searched for Vista Wallpapers on the net or something. I have a blog that talks about Windows Vista, here in Brazil, because i have found this subject to be one that could catch some visitors and some Adsense money. I blog for a living, so you know……..

I thank you for setting this zip file, and would like to inform you that found out about your website on Life Hacker. Guess like 99% of your recent visitors..

Well, i was looking at your adsense and have a comment to say: it sucks! The place sucks, the colors do too, everything sucks! Sorry for the honesty though….. lol….

I have been using adsense for almost a year, and my blogs have caught enough traffic so that Google started sending me emails, asking if i wanted to optimise my Adsense and stuff. Of course i accepted and i did some other optimization on my own, including stuff that Google don’t mention, but helps A LOT, as placing atractive images next to the ads.

Please go to my most sucessful blog, which is noticiasautomotivas.com.br and look at the Adsense. Try to do something similar. If you do so, you will see your clicks increase in 100%-200%. Today i make twice as i did until last week, without the images next to the ads.

Separate your ads, leave some blank spaces between them and the content, make them blend with your page, by using the same colors, etc…..

Best Regards,
Azhar November 27th, 2006 at 5:47 pm 5

Thanks for this, also here to offer my TB of bandwidth if you need it, just as a backup sort of thing. Need a way to protect against bandwidth overage though which I havn’t figured out, looking for a script or something.
Brajeshwar November 28th, 2006 at 6:15 am 6

@Azhar, Thanks for the offer. I will remember if I run into issues.

@Eber, Thanks for your comments about the adsense. I think you’re right. I’ll look into it with the next site design iteration. However, my primary goal is neither adsense nor advertisement for this site, thus the lack of interest. Nonetheless, I make a decent earning even without taking any care, text-ad-links is not bad.
Btw, Lifehacker just showed up as the second rank in referral after Google Search.
Eber November 28th, 2006 at 10:32 am 7

I see your point, friend. Good to know you’re making some money…. wish you the best luck!!!
Loke Chung Yan December 9th, 2006 at 12:56 pm 8
