Microsoft shot real lasers through a window to make Windows 10's wallpaper — surprisingly the iconic art wasn't computer generated (www.tomshardware.com)

It's kinda weird how much of a performance difference the wallpaper makes. I once installed Linux mint on an old laptop and the perf of managing windows and some other things was terrible until I changed the wallpaper to a plain color.

Meanwhile windows will still lag switching between desktops if they have different wallpapers, even on high end computers
