I think this one background, coming with Windows 7, says it all.

I had a little fun today, hiding the address and title and getting people to guess what it is. I got everything from new Nintendo franchise to Care Bears movie. But wait! There's more madness!

Is this some weird attempt to reach out to kids or has LSD hit Richmond?

Just thought I'd share.

Microsoft themselves have posted a download somewhere on their site. Don't ask where.

lol, that first one, the turtle looks like it was made by a Terry Pratchett Discworld fan...

Which basically amounts to the same thing.

I assume this is part of the whole personalisation emphasis on Win7. They're terrible though, I can't imagine any of them working very well as a background against the task bar + icons etc.

I think you guys have become cynical in your old age. They're not bad, and obviously intended for kid's accounts.
