Windows' coming home

Whereas Windows XP utilised the lovely Californian location Napa Valley for its desktop wallpaper, the forthcoming Windows 7 happens to feature a shot of good old Birmingham. For those that don't recognise what's shown above, that is the Selfridges building at the newly built Bullring in Birmingham - a big, blue carbuncle covered in metal discs - which just so manages to look like boobies in a sequin dress!

Still, it's nice that they have chosen to feature some UK locations for their new wallpaper collection.
