Today is officially the first day of the Summer! That’s if you live in the Northern Hemisphere of course, otherwise I guess it means you’ve entered the first day of your Winter…

However since it’s the first of May, it means that Smashing Magazine have released another brilliant collection of Wallpapers for the month. This month we’ve got 22 various different wallpapers which try to capture the essence of the month of May.

As usual these wallpapers all come with calendars over layed which is quite handy. All you have to do is quickly glance at your desktop and you’ve got a calendar there.

These wallpapers were submitted to Smashing Magazine by artists all over the world and it’s well worth having a look at some of their work.

I’ve added a gallery of all the wallpapers below, but if you want to download them I recommend that you go to Smashing Magazines post where you will find the various image resolutions as well as a non-calendar version of the wallpapers. They also give all the appropriate credit to the artists which is important.

So what’s your favourite wallpaper this month? For me it has to be this one.

Why? Because as I write this it has been pouring rain all day, very appropriate for the first day of Summer.

The Windows 8 Consumer Preview can’t be too far away now. We’ve had loads of leaks to do with Windows 8 which you can read all about over at our sister site Windows 8 News. Recently there was a few leaked screenshots from the Consumer Preview build of Windows 8 which hasn’t been made available to the public yet. Along with those screenshots came some wallpapers that are set to be made available in the consumer preview of Windows 8.

I know that you guys love the huge range of wallpapers that we have here at Windows7news, so I decided to get the wallpapers from the Windows 8 Consumer Preview  to add to our extensive collection.

The first one is actually the same as the log on wallpaper for Windows 7, the others are new as best as I can make out. There’s also 2 widescreen wallpapers which I imagine would be for multi monitor displays.

You can check them out in the gallery below. To save them simply right click on the image then choose save as.

Windows 8 has been revealed yesterday by Microsoft on the Build Conference. The two hour long keynote was streamed live on the Internet, and is now available as a recording for users who may have missed it. We have already covered a lot Windows 8 wise, for instance how to install Windows 8, where to download the Windows 8 ISOs. We have also answered the most popular questions that you had regarding the new operating system.

With every Microsoft operating system, even with preview, beta and release candidate releases, come new wallpapers and other personalization files. Below are all wallpaper images that Microsoft has used in the presentation of the developer preview of Windows 8.

Six of the seven wallpapers have a resolution of 1920×1200, one a resolution of 1600×500.It is likely that Microsoft will continue to publish wallpapers for the new operating system when it comes out, just like they did with Windows 7.

The talk is more frequent and more serious…The next installment of the Windows OS family is slowly being shown out of the development room. Hundreds, no thousands of users are quietly waiting to see what new features will be available in the new state of the art program, which Microsoft hopes will change the opinions of critics. Sure Windows 7 was/is a success. But what have you done lately?

With Apple and Google running through the forest and bringing back dramatic hardware or programs Microsoft must strut its stuff. So here are some Windows 8 Wallpapers that you can look at and download in anticipation of the strutting.

Here are some new Windows8 Wallpapers. As interest is beginning to grow over the new Operating System, even Microsoft is not holding back. Build releases have made it out. Steve Ballmer officially calls the next installment Windows 8.

A lot of attention right now is taking place, although mostly rumors about what it will or won’t contain. For example, there are reports that Microsoft is bringing the Office “ribbon” interface and this will supposedly make Windows more  tablet-ready. Other reports claim that Windows8 will also get a ”History Vault” feature, which is similar to Apple’s Time Machine, which gives users a simple way to back up and restore their computer’s applications, data and settings. In addition there is talk about is a system reset feature that will allow a computer to be reset to its original factory settings. But even if half the rumors are true, it will be an exciting product. Enjoy some of these new wallpapers.

The wallpaper package includes a lot of different wallpapers: dual-screen, panorama (ultra-wide wallpaper), firefox, mac, windows vista and 7, cars, nature, underwater scenes, gaming, 3D, CG, sexy babes, etc.

1250 Windows 8 Wallpapers takes up quite a lot of filespace, so the authors have pulled together a torrent to make it easier to download the wallpapers.
