This next one is from the Longhorn Concept Demos which I believe are still available on Microsoft’s website, this is from the Healthcare Demo which was meant to “increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve care with software” the demo is presented by Carter Maslanthere are still questions about which build is being demoed in this video, most people believe it to be one of the 405x builds. This green leafy wallpaper was shown in this demo of build 5355.vbl_media_ehome.060330-2100, I am not sure what the demo was for or where it was presented, but I am guessing sumthin to do with media based on the build tags, this would have been just after the Feb CTP Refresh in and before Vista Beta 2 on May 1 2006. So I began going through my screenshots collection and started to put some things together I am sure there are a lot more that I don’t have I know of one for sure and that’s the Athens PC demos that featured the uber-wickedly-super-duper-rarest of the rares cherry blossom wallpaper (people still email me asking me if I have it…I DONT HAVE IT!!!!) but…here’s what I came up with (in no particular order): **links and uploads updated Jan2020. it still goes on now as seen with Windows 8.

So I was thinking about some of the older Microsoft demos of builds that were shown at various times through out the build stages of Windows Longhorn, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and the correlation with the wallpapers shown in the demos, its like every time a demos a is shown the wallpaper that was shown in the demo is/was the most sought after item, sometimes more then the build itself.
