The Photo Picture with a Billion Views
The default windows XP back drop image is the most viewed photo in the World. The photo was taken by National Geographic Magazine Photographer, Chuck O’Rear, who was paid a huge undisclosed amount by Microsoft. The photo was taken as Chuck drove on Highway 121 in California’s Sonoma Valley when the landscape caught his eye. Chuck immediately parked his car and took out his camera and took a snap through the fence. The site is a vineyard, but at the time, the area had been devastated by the Phylloxera bug that lead to all the vines being removed, hence revealing green rolling pastures that nearly all of us have come to recognise as the bliss background image that braces PCs all around the World.

The house has 105 bedrooms, 5 swimming pools, a squash court, helipad (that’s heated), tennis court, a 50 seat screening room, etc. The neighbours include Elton John, the Queen (who sometimes resides at Winsor castle).
