Windows XP is not a version of Microsoft’s operating system. No, Windows XP is quite an institution, one of the best systems Microsoft has yet designed (although admittedly it took a few Service Packs to polish it up) and also (mainly as a result) one of the most popular iterations of the vast majority of those users who used it at the time, if only to escape the infamous Windows ME. And that its successor was Windows Vista, of course, only served to increase the legend.

There are many reasons for which even today Windows XP is so loved and highly valued. As you may remember, how the grays are already combing, with the transition from MS-DOS 6 + Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, Microsoft told us that MS-DOS was banished in the past. However, this was not the case, and Windows 98 and Windows ME still had to pass until Windows finally started using the Windows NT kernel and architecture with the transition to XP, which is like replacing a shack with a bunker.

This huge reception explains that even today, even though its life cycle (that is, its support) ended more than nine years ago (April 8, 2014), there is still a lot of life around you. For example, just a few days ago we told you that the way to activate it offline was finally published, so that we do not have to use third-party applications, which in many cases may contain malware. Don’t you find it surprising and fascinating that it is still in demand?

It’s time to use AI for wallpapers!

Aware of the appeal and memories that this version of Windows continues to evoke among many users, Michael Gillett, Microsoft’s manager of partner technology strategy, decided to speak to the community. In addition to his work at Microsoft, he is also responsible for WallpaperHub, a website whose name already gives you an idea of ​​its content, right? Well, he took advantage of it post two windows xp desktop wallpaper with improved artificial intelligenceto adapt to the resolution and aspect ratio of the current screens.

On the one hand we have an unforgettable grassy hill with an impressive blue sky marked by white clouds. The AI ​​remastered version added a lake in which we can see part of the original stamp reflected in the water.

The second original Windows XP background adapted to current screens is, I admit, something I never knew how to identify what it was (I will also admit that I was from the hill team), and even today I am not completely clear about it. I think it pretends to be something similar to a flower, but it could also be a napkin with the most bizarre fold in history, or three-dimensional graphics of those that have become so popular recently and are sometimes incomprehensible even to their own authors.

These Windows XP wallpaper reviews weren’t to everyone’s liking, with some users criticizing the AI-generated content as overwhelmingly…artificial (I’ll spare you the pun joke, you’re welcome), but there’s no doubt they are another of the many and well-deserved honors which continues to receive the most popular and remembered version of Windows today.

You can download the hill wallpaper (Bliss) here and Bloom here.
