Microsoft XP background...

Hi guys!

When it comes to famous photographs, a computer desktop image is unlikely to be the first thought on most people’s minds.

But more than a billion people around the world have seen Mr O’Rear’s photo of the countryside near his Napa Valley home.

Most of them don’t even realise they have been looking at it...

Although the 69-year-old photographer signed a confidentiality agreement so he can’t say how much he got paid – it is reportedly the second most expensive photo licence ever purchased.

But unlike many PC users, he doesn’t get to see his XP photo every day – because he uses a Mac...

Maybe he has his Mac set up in front of window, so he can look out at the "real thing", while sitting behind his computer.
