Winter, originally known as Snow and Frost on Trees in Forest and known as Winter forest in Windows XP Release Candidate 1 builds 2474 to 2485, is a sample picture included in Windows XP, licensed from Corbis. It was taken by Mark Karrass, who also took Ascent, Blue hills and the chess user account picture. It depicts a snowy forest at night, although it is unknown which forest it was taken at.
It is no longer available on Getty Images and other stock photo sites with the exception of Photononstop. A high res version is available from Corbis CD Nature and Landscapes, which also has Forest of Redwood Trees at a high resolution; as a result it has been unofficially mirrored to many microstock websites.
Usage
Winter first appears in Windows XP build 2474, where it is named Winter forest instead and is in 480x336. Unlike the other sample pictures in builds 2474 to 2485, this remained in build 2486 onwards (which introduced a new set of sample pictures in 800x600), where it has been renamed to Winter and is in 800x600.
It would later be used as the wallpaper of a Longhorn demo circa 2002.
