Download OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard's desktop pictures now
If you're anxious for Snow Leopard to ship, you might be excited to know that you can grab copies of the built-in desktop images, thanks to the developer previews and a crafty blogger over at Uneasy Silence.
While there are four images out of the set of 35 that feature leopards, the rest of the images run the gamut from beautiful landscape photography to classic pieces of art. The images are offered as JPEGs, so even Windows users might like to pick up a few.
It seems to be a requirement now that major operating systems release with a relatively substantial set of beautiful images to be used as desktop wallpaper.
No longer can OS manufacturers get away with offering eight photos and a few tiling images -- remember tiling your desktop? Does anybody ever do that anymore?

I looked at about 10 and didn't see any noise or bad quality. However some are caps of paintings, which for some reason look noisy. They must have been painted in a lower resolution.

Looks like Window 7 wins this round!

Exactly my thoughts. I've just recently installed win7 and have been really enjoying the wallpapers that come with it, especially the ones that come from the "characters" series. They're definitely more interesting than this osx collection.
And what is up with that camo wallpaper?? Who the heck thought that was a good idea.

What's wrong with tiling?
I enjoy making tiled images for my desktop.
