If you're fed up of looking at that bland Windows background then it's time tried The Beautiful Desktop. It's a collection of high-quality colour photographs specially scanned for use as backgrounds - there are different versions for different screen resolutions (from 640x480 to 1024x768) and colour depths (from 16 up to millions of colours). With this demo you get to look at all the photos available in the full version, and you can try out the Alpine scene in whichever format you desire.
