Windows 7 world tour wallpapers
Thanks to Windows 7, there will always be some corner of your desktop that is forever England. Or Canada, or the Outback, or an African elephant, because localized wallpapers are included in the newest iteration of Microsoft's operating system.
Windows 7 is here, kind of: The release candidate is out this week as a soft launch ahead of the proper finished version, which is expected sometime before the end of this year. Among the new features are a fistful of new wallpapers created by illustrators and designers. But if you like your computer to reflect a little piece of home, you can choose from 30 wallpapers depicting a scene from a specific country.
Each of the beautiful photographs shows landscapes from the UK, Australia, Canada, the US or South Africa. The files take up 19.2MB of disk space, divided into folders depicting each country. Some are obvious landmarks, while others are a little more generic.
Click through our gallery to see the wallpapers, some of which are frankly stunning. While you're at it, see if you can name all 30. We certainly couldn't--it's times like this we wish we'd paid more attention in geography, instead of sneaking off to the science lab to tinker with those BBC Micros.
