Answered my question by looking at the bottom right of the pic: JAKUSA. I cannot tell anything about them from their website as it appears that they are not USA. It also looks like a design concept, not a real car. Too bad. Also I doubt that you will ever get MS to adopt this as a theme without "rights" to the photos. Nevertheless, I like it on my PC.

you seriously got other problems.. Been using W7 since early beta with no issues.. XP is a 10 year old OS.. way to many security issues.. Upgrade I guarantee you'll like 7 better..

Wow, I cannot believe that some people actually prefer XP over windows 7. It is like night and day in 7's favor!!

And some people prefer a C5 over a C6 but then those are the same that prefer Xp over 7, a hand job over a bj, or Ny pizza over Chicago pizza
