(More) High quality Vista wallpapers

I while back, I wrote about Hamad Darwish and the high-quality Windows Vista wallpapers he had made, both those that are included with the OS and many more that are similar but not included with Vista. (You can find the complete collection here.)

But wait, there's more.

It turns out that some of the wallpaper images included with Vista were from Microsoft employees. And one of them, Mike Swanson, has made a great collection of wallpapers available, including a couple that are in fact included with Vista. They're all available in 1920 x 1200 and 1600 x 1200 sizes, which should fit the bill for virtually anyone. And they're beautiful.

Check 'em out, and enjoy.

Thanks Paul, those are great. I've been needing a background change for a while.

Yup, cool. I reconize some of Mike Swanson's wallpapers from the Vista Beta's (beta 1, Beta 2, RC1, etc)

Sweet. I'm planning to purchase a new monitor this year. Since I already have an ATI HD2600 Pro, these will be great to add later. Thanks Paul.

Best wallpapers here http://zueuk.deviantart.com/gallery/ It's funny how changing my vista wallpaper and window color every few weeks makes a huge difference. THanks, JA
