user, known in Windows Live Messenger as Gerber Daisy, is the default user account picture of Windows Vista, also included as a display picture in Windows Live Messenger. It depicts a CGI orange gerbera. While Microsoft are confirmed to own the rights to it, it was likely created by Iconfactory, who created many of Vista's icons along with Microsoft themselves. The same flower would appear in 7's default user account picture, albeit the gerbera is moved downwards, revealing a light blue "sky". The gerbera also appears on the icons of both the Windows Vista-bundled and Windows Essentials versions of Windows Movie Maker, Photo Gallery, DVD Maker, Mail, Calendar and Sidebar. It remained in Windows 7 pre-release builds up to build 7048.
