Last week I posted an update on Certified from Windows Vista products in which at the end of the post I mentioned I had something else planned in regards to Certified for Windows Vista. Here at Microsoft in Redmond, the Windows Vista Logo Team made a poster that was put up around campus showcasing the Certified for Windows Vista logo. I thought the poster was really neat so I asked Deryl if he wouldn't mind if we released it as desktop wallpaper here for you to add Certified for Windows Vista to your desktop.

Below are links to download the Certified for Windows Vista wallpaper for your desktop (depending of course on your screen resolution) courtesy of Windows Live SkyDrive:

Enjoy the wallpaper!

For those not really interested in this wallpaper - you might check out another wallpaper of mine I released last month. I also hope to create some more wallpapers for you here in the coming months.

What a beautiful castle in Donji Miholjac, Croatia. I love how the sun light is shinning on the building but the rest of the scene is getting dark. The landscape is so nicely manicured and the pathways look so inviting. This castle looks so unique with its red roof and white walls. I’d love to visit this place some time.

For the last week, I had been using one of the photos I took on my recent trip around Washington State as my desktop wallpaper. It was an image I took in the Columbia River Gorge near an abandoned railroad track. I got down really close to the railroad track for a really interesting shot. I think it looks really neat as a desktop wallpaper so I thought I'd create a range of different sizes of the image to share with you - the readers of the Windows Vista Team Blog - to use as your desktop wallpaper on your PC.

I've created a range of sizes of the wallpaper for you to download depending on your display resolution via Windows Live SkyDrive:

The shot was taken using the Certified for Windows Vista DSLR Canon Digital Rebel XTi.

Let me know what you think!

This wallpaper has such vibrant and beautiful colors it’s hard not to wish such a place existed. I love the detail in this wallpaper and how it lets your imagination run free. I’d love to be in one of those hot air balloons or run down that lush hill. This is a great background for your computer.

Fantastic colors and nice details abound in this wallpaper. This image leaves you thinking, is that a painting, drawing or photo? Only the original artist knows and that’s fine with me. The sky in this image is so beautiful. I like the small city in the distance too.

This is a cool and unique Vista wallpaper. The colors, lighting and imagery is spectacular. This is definitely going into my favorites folder. I like how the wallpaper is dark but also light at the same time.
