Windows 7

Windows 7 is an operating system released by Microsoft in 2009.

Wallpapers
For Windows 7's wallpapers, Microsoft continued to rely on Getty Images and Corbis, as with previous versions. However, they also licensed images from other sources, such as Minden Pictures, Photolibrary, 4Corners Images, individual photographers' PhotoShelters, and hired artists. This is also the first Windows version where all of the wallpapers are 1920x1200, as more people had widescreen displays by 2009.

The default wallpaper is img0, created by Chuck Anderson and Erik Attkisson.
