user is the default user account picture of Windows 7. It depicts a CGI orange gerbera in front of a light blue-white radial gradient that resembles a sky. While Microsoft are confirmed to own the rights to it, it was likely created by Iconfactory, who created many of Vista's icons (although Microsoft would later edit them) that were also used in 7. The same flower appears in Vista's default user account picture, albeit the gerbera is in the center. It first appeared in build 7055 and remained in Windows 8 pre-release builds up to 7880, where after it was replaced with a user picture similar to Windows Live Messenger 2009.
