No...they are actually different. One has "Microsoft Longhorn" in white text on the middle of the picture and the other doesnt.

Except for the text and a little difference in clarity/resolution?, they look the same to me, Travis.

Well everything looks the same except the file size
So yes you have gone off the deep end

They are the same. The 1st one seems to be the original judging by date of upload, but only an Admin can fix this.

the original's preview doesn't look like the bootskin really looks. I have seen a couple of these like that and they kind of bug me.

It will be looked into, as there are related issues with what is, or is not an approved port, etc....

they´re both rips of this wallpaper: http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=42611

best thing is that one of the rippers accuses the other one of ripping in the bootskin´s comments.

We gee, since the original is on "the evil site", who know where it REALLY came from!!!

check the upload dates. that at least makes sure the wallpaper was there before the bootskins.

if you think that every submission at the other site is a rip, then you are just plain dumb. if you´re looking for "evil" stuff though, have a look at all the various copyright/trademark infringements in the bootskin section here

now now, just because the evil sites owner is a thief doesn't mean everyone on the site is a thief
