Windows XP (wallpaper)

Windows XP is the branding wallpaper included in Windows XP, although Bliss serves as the default wallpaper. It depicts a CGI Windows logo on a blue (green in Home Edition) background along with the Windows XP wordmark and the edition the user is using in the bottom right corner. It was either created by Microsoft's own graphic designers, or by contractors that worked interally at Microsoft.

The wallpaper does not appear in XP Starter Edition and late 2000s Embedded editions of XP, which have different branding wallpapers. A similar wallpaper would appear in most editions of Server 2003 (sans Home Server), which is grey instead and uses the Server 2003 logo instead. Home Server uses a Vista-esque aurora as its branding wallpaper instead.
