XP Wallpaper - Where is Bliss?

[Ginga]

Hello folks.

Being the inquisitive person I am I've often wondered if
the bliss (default) WindowsXP background was a real place
or whether it was a hash together in photoshop or the
like and if it was a real place where was it?

Surely I can't be the only one who wishes to stand atop
XP Hill and have my photograph taken?

If anyone knows where this is - BILL G ARE YOU
LISTENING? If you could post on here that would be
great. I may even take you over with me so we can both
fulfill a dream, that is unless it's you Bull who answers
this post, in which case you can pay for yourself

Cheers Dudes and Dudettes

This is Bill. Well, OK, it isn't really Bill Gates, but I'm
channeling him through my Ka. As we all know, Gates died five
years ago, and the Disney anamatronics people have been keeping
his corpse animated with their black arts. He heard your question
in the great blue screen in the sky and asked me to answer for him.

"Dear Ginga, all the Windows XP background landscapes are
Photoshopped. None of them are real. We took a little bit that we
liked from here, and a little bit from there, and put it together
into scenes that look pretty, but don't really make much sense.
Sort of like Windows itself, when I come to think of it. Sorry to
disillusion you. But on the plus side of things, there is a Santa
Claus. He's here with me right now. We're playing cards. Don't let
that jolly belly fool you, he's a shark. And he cheats. But that's
OK, so do I. Yours fondly, Bill Gates."
