Microsoft today celebrating its 50th anniversary. Part of celebration, the company has issued a pack of wallpapers for desktop, mobile, a new background for Solitaire, and a new dynamic Xbox X/S background.
The wallpapers were collaboratively designed by three Microsoft designers, who drew inspiration from key moments and iconic elements in the companyโs storied journey. Each design reflects a blend of nostalgia and modernity, capturing the essence of Microsoftโs evolution over the past 50 years. What makes these wallpapers even more versatile is that they come in both light and dark variants, ensuring they look great on any device.
