   Just sharing something I learned a bit ago

   I think everybody knows the “Bliss” wallpaper from Windows XP.

   The original photo was taken by Charles O’Rear on medium format color reversal (slide) film, specifically Fujifilm Velvia 50. He shot it on a Mamiya RZ67.

   The first image is the original. The second is the version that shipped with Windows XP.

     @maddiefuzz And on the crappy low cost screen that lot of people used with WinXP, the right one looked just as the left one 🤪.

     @dunkelstern @jadedtwin @c0debabe @maddiefuzz I always liked Windows XP's window decorations, though the widget style not as much (aside from nostalgia lol)

     @jadedtwin @c0debabe @maddiefuzz if you remember the original window decorations i think it’s on point with the general uglyness of the whole os
