Introducing the Microsoft Ugly Christmas Sweater, a nostalgic ode to the iconic default wallpaper of Windows XP. This renowned image adorned screens for more than 20 years, during a time when Windows XP reigned supreme in the personal computing world. Now, Microsoft pays homage to this classic with a festive sweater featuring the Bliss hill.

Incorporating elements reminiscent of Windows XP’s distinct design, the sweater boasts blue hemming at the bottom and on the sleeves, mirroring the bright-blue taskbar of the operating system. To ensure immediate recognition of Bliss as a “computer thing,” a giant mouse pointer hovers over the scene.

Available in sizes from small to 3XL, this retro-inspired sweater is priced at $39.95 for all versions. Past editions featured themes like Minesweeper, MS Paint, the Windows logo, and the iconic Clippy.

The limited-edition Bliss sweater, priced at $39.95, contributes to The Nature Conservancy’s efforts to combat the climate and biodiversity crisis.

For those craving more ’90s and 2000s Microsoft nostalgia, the company has released retro-themed high-resolution wallpapers on its Microsoft Design site. Notably, a 4K rendering of the Bliss wallpaper is among the offerings.
