Whether or not you're into the sweater, Microsoft clearly realizes that the Bliss wallpaper invokes nostalgia. I'm the proud owner of the Windows 95 original, while other releases have included the Windows XP logo, Clippy, Paint, and Minesweeper.

The sweater is $69.99 over at Microsoft's Xbox Gear Shop, with some of the proceeds going to the Nature Conservancy, a non-profit charity focused on conservation, biodiversity, and finding solutions to climate crises. ![]()
