#22I don’t want to be a fanboy but the wallpaper is so soulless and industrial. I like how Apple always tries to bring nature to computing with wallpapers and screensavers. For example https://iso.500px.com/iphone-6-milky-way-wallpaper-interview... Also the Ariel videos of nature and cities for Apple TV and Mac is another example. Windows feels so corporate and boring tbh

#23The technical ingenuity is impressive. I personally find this visual quite cold and soulless, compared to previous Windows wallpapers, mostly XP's of course. For me this also coincided with Windows becoming completely useless and my moving to a Mac.

Really? W10 is the best just after W7.
Yes, especially if you like ads in your start menu.

I feel the other way around. Windows 10 with WSL, Power Toys and many other things sold me on windows for development. I still use a MacBook on the move, but if I work from home I would never swap to OSX. Way too many things annoy me: the filesystem, the file explorer, poor windows and multi monitor handling (to this date OSX sucks with 3 monitors and switches the output randomly when coming back from sleep/rebooting…
Same feeling from me. Windows 11 could be the perfect OS if they dropped the anti-user features and pestering, and make new features like Copilot and AI stuff opt-in instead of being forced down your throat by major updates.
Basically have Windows behave like Linux, where you get the bare minimum and the letting you choose what to add on top.

#28As impressive as this looks (and is), the effort strikes me as monumentally oversized. This particular picture, with its straight lines and everything artificial, could have just as well come out of a renderer. For substantially less cost, the result would have been the same.
Doesn't mean you don't need to have the creative vision first. But executing it with a camera and a light/laser/fog set and all the effort that went into it, seriously, just take a talented vfx artist and you get the same result.
It's different with nature photography and especially with humans. But there was nothing natural with this image.

#29Although this is great somehow in my opinion this was the best windoze wallpaper
It somehow captures my soul, perhaps because i was very young when i saw it

#30I hate myself for saying it, but this feels like an artistic variation on "we spent 500 hours manually perfecting React button animations" or "I built a Lisp so we can have more interesting configuration files for our ... todo list app".
I guess I'm jaded.
