When Windows 10 launches on July 29, pay special attention to the default desktop background.
Microsoft partnered with San Francisco designer Bradley G. Munkowitz, whose worked on films such as
Tron, to create a spectacle out of the desktop background. Microsoft used lights, projectors, camera mapping and even a fog machine to create a 3D-looking Windows 10 logo.
It's quite a departure from the rolling hills landscape of Windows XP's iconic background. Windows 10 signifies the start of Microsoft's reinvention of the Windows brand, so the design has to make quite a statement.
This isn't the first time Microsoft has worked with a forward-thinking artist for its products. Ambient-music legend Brian Eno composed the famous startup chime for Windows 95.
For a look at the default background and how it was made, check out the video below.
What do you think of the new background? Let us know in the comments.
