Yes, now even if you have an “ancient” PowerPC G5 system you can at least pretend you’re cool with the Snow Leopard Desktop Wallpaper! Click here to download.

I’m using this wallpaper, and it actually sped my iMac up 241% — Well worth the effort. Thanks.
I can tell everyone I am using Snow Leopard now~~~ Thanks~~~
That wallpaper made safari faster too
I loaded this wallpaper and just got back 6GB of hard drive space!, thanks Doc & Rofl.
Thanks for the wallpaper Doc & rofl, my iPhone backs up much faster now!
haha! nice.
And, if you turn up the exposure on this wallpaper, you get zfs read/write ability in Disk Utility.
ah! yes, just another one of those nifty new tricks, apple don’t tell you about their regarding their new upgrades.
Jesus christ!!
I got a 52 inch monitor, paaow!
This is some funny reading : )
I just loaded the wallpaper. Now I finally got the new Dock/Exposé-Feature!
I didn’t think it was worth my $7 so I illegally downloaded this wallaper off bittorent.
I can’t use it, I got a PPC.
Be careful, this thing totally trashed my system. It went into the endless reboot loop after I set this as my desktop. Thank goodness for Time Machine.
I knew I should have done the “save as” from direct link rather than opening the picture then clicking on it to save to my desktop. This is why I usually wait to apply these until the kinks are ironed out.
Holly F**k! This wallpaper turned my OS X into Windows. What a downgrade! And not just any Windows, but shitty Vista! I want my money back, like right now!
This wallpaper not only sped up my computer, it cured by ED. It’s better than Viagra!
I downloaded it and lost 5 lbs!
Sorry, not too good with the jokes but, did it really make your mac run faster? I don’t understand how.
I’m wondering if you can also post the Snow Leopard server wallpaper, to see if it speeds up my G4 server also….
This wallpaper downgraded my hdd to sata 1.5
I downloaded this wallpaper from my HP tower and now I can boot to OS X and Win XP!!! sweet!!!
I just made this the background of my WindowsXP machine and suddenly it no longer sucks.
(5 sec delay…)
Oh wait. It still sucks.
Thanks, that fixed the faulty battery that was giving me some issues. Also, it repaired permissions for me!
Whoa!
When I enabled white-on-black on this wallpaper a wormhole opened!!!!
uhm.. you guys are crazy the wallpaper didn’t do anything for me… except DOUBLE MY RAM!!!??? WTF awesome apple!! when i run the latest snow leopard build the ram goes away though…
Ah, you idiots: what do you expect when you fail to verify disk permissions before installing the new wallpaper, and then verify disk permissions again afterward?
I do this both before and after opening anything, and I’ve *never* had my machine fail to open the file in the middle(*). Live and learn. Atom.

(*) It does get a tiny bit annoying when you have closed one file, verified disk permissions, and then want to open another immediately. But I do it anyway. IT HAS NEVER FAILED ME!
This background cured my aids.
Thanks Macenstein!!!
This wallpaper is great.
My iMac is faster and Megan Fox had sex with me.
Wow!
Snow Leopard [wallpaper] rules.
I’ve made an video to install an skin that is based on this, my skin also has the Quicktime X icon in it:

They really needed to do something to get rid of the “God’s fart” look of the old wallpaper.
After installing this wallpaper on my vista, (with all the secret instructions i got here) my PC became a Mac the next day. The best thing is, the minute i log online to the internet, the snow lopard wallpaper even got $500,000 wired into my bank account from Apple Inc.
Thanks for the tips! This really rocks!!!
Funny this is.. this wall paper doesn’t do anything to my iMac..
I tried to change my background to this, but it appears that Snow Leopard’s default wallpaper is no match for Haruhi Suzumiya.
Wallpapers will only speed up your computer if it came with some kind of hidden program that is supposed to do all kinds of fixes.
Lots of “interesting” comments.
Thanks to Dr. Macenstein for sharing.
Ha ha ha! This comment thread is awesome. Very very witty you Internet-techies out there
My trash empties faster… I think
I upgraded to Snow Leopard wallpaper and now my basset hound can fly!
Thank You, Apple…Thank You!
With this wallpaper, my World of Warcraft frame-rate increased by 35 fps!
you guys are crazy lol
To all those not so tech-savvy… I legitimately feel sorry for you that you are falling for the jokes. Actually it made my day that much better knowing that a sucker is truly still born everyday…lol
Oh and the wallpaper made unicorns fly out of my butt… yep.
I put the wallpaper on my windows 2000 and when I rebooted I had snow leopard!!!!!!!!
My ExpressCard slot is getting…smaller…NOOOOOO! IT TURNED INTO AN SD CARD SLOT!! WHY, WALLPAPER, WHY??
I just put it on my aging Pismo, and boy does it fly. Is there nothing a Pismo can’t do?
P.S. Where are the ones with the cats?
I just added this wallpaper to my Dell and Steve Jobs rose from the floor, threw out my Dell and placed a shiny new Mac Book Pro on my desk. Steve, you are a life saver. Thanks.
PS. Sorry Lauren from the Windows commercial. I am cool enough to have a mac.
I installed this wall paper to my Windows PC and it started oscillating between leopard and snow leopard auroras. Then I blacked out. When I came to there before me was a shiny new Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard OS X!!! MAC FTW… No seriously!
Gee thanks Doc, the damn wallpaper did nothing for my com.
…and now i have to shovel away all the oversized white spotty cats which fell from the sky.
Wow !

I installed this and my mother in law just stopped calling and visit us.
It´s a miracle!
