I've been watching the buzz go around from the screenshots I posted the other day (here). One thing I forgot to note in the post is the desktop wallpaper image (leaves with water droplets on them) was taken by yours truly while on a hike at Deception Falls. It's not shipping with Windows Vista.

But I've seen several comments where folks want this image for their own desktop -- happy to oblige.

Just leave a comment here with your native resolution and I'll crop the image as appropriate and post for folks to download and use.

Update: Here they are -- note these are barely compressed -- I like my desktop backgrounds very sharp, crisp and clean.  For best results in Windows Vista, make sure you use the proper image for your native resolution and select the 'Fit to screen' positioning option in the for the Desktop Background control panel.

If you are running the February CTP Refresh (5342) use this image as your Desktop Background, take a screenshot of your desktop and post to your blog with a permalink back here -- it will be fun to see how folks configure their desktops in Windows Vista (and how far around the world the image goes).
