What Do Wallpapers Have To Do With Operating Systems?

I was reading an article in which the writer was trying to compare the taste of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. In his writing he used a wallpaper from Apple’s Snow Leopard compared to a wallpaper from Windows 7. He then asked the question which wallpaper was from Apple was which wallpaper was from Microsoft?
Here are the wallpapers:
Image: Apple Inc.
Image: Microsoft Corp.
Unless you can not read, it is impossible not to tell which image is which since they were labeled. What I couldn’t understand was this supposed to be a comparison of Apple vs Microsoft operating systems? Did the writer know, or even care, that Windows 7 has a long list of different wallpapers?
Or was it a slow news day?
Comments welcome.

All we’re comparing here are the prettiness of the wallpaper that comes with each OS. That means nothing, as there are a lot of free wallpapers out there that can be installed on either computer.
What really matters is whether the OS is easy for the computer user. I like Windows Vista, for instance. My daughter prefers the Mac interface (which I detest, though I like the BSD Unix command line).
