Interesting Documentary on Windows XP Photo

If you have 40 minutes or so to kill, check out "Bliss - The Story of Windows XP’s Famous Default Wallpaper". It's an interesting look at probably the most widely distributed photograph in history. Most people (myself included) may not even know it's an actual photograph taken by a real photographer.

I always thought it was a promo for the Teletubbies.

Still using XP at work - great operating system, esp. for legacy accounting programs, the contemporary versions of which you now have to rent to use. Usually nothing beats Windows for backwards compatibility, but there are some programs that just won't run on Windows 10.
