If a few weeks ago we echoed the resurgence of classic Windows wallpapers thanks to an initiative that, among others, rescued (and adapted) the mythical Windows XP wallpaperthe one that we bring you now is one of a hundred percent official character… Which does not mean that the other one did not have its little bit of legitimacy, beware.
For more information, the news the other day included a personal project by Michael Gillett, manager of the WallpaperHub site where all the wallpapers announced at that time and many, many more are hosted, all of them from Microsoft, or what is the same, all of them they’ve been through Windows one way or another. And who says Windows, says Windows Spotlight and, of course, mainly Bing.
Well, Michael Gillett is not only the person behind WallpaperHub, but his job is at Microsoft, where he holds the position of Partner Technology Strategy Manager. However, WallpaperHub has had “competition” and is at home, specifically, in a section of the website Microsoft Design. ring a bell? That’s where Microsoft Designer comes from, whose AI-based technology most likely had something to do with it.
In fact, it has been through AI that they have been able to rescale images like Windows XP and others to the current resolution, without having a very obvious loss of quality, but be careful with this, because there are no miracles here either. Without going any further, the photograph of the hill in question is from 1996, so imagine what has happened since then, especially in terms of technology and image.
Returning to Microsoft Design, it should be noted that although the news has traveled these days to some specialized technology headlines throughout the world, the collection of wallpapers that gathers data from the end of last year, or so it is implied by the date update indicated. Be that as it may, today we talk about her and how complements the otherbetter.
Thus, while in WallpaperHub it treasures the wallpapers of the different versions of Windows in addition to, as we have said, many others, in Microsoft Design what they do is collect the wallpapers with which Microsoft has presented events, campaigns, projects and products. For example, the Surface wallpapers, some of the most beautiful you’ll find there. Well, and one exception: the vaunted wallpaper of Windows XP in 4, which you can see that link.
To all this, if the theme of the wallpapers overwhelms you and you don’t want to complicate your life downloading anything, let Dynamic Theme make life easier for you.
