No, this is not a joke. You can download directly from Microsoft the largest Windows Vista that will ever reside on your desktop. And if you want to known the measurements of the Windows Vista Grande edition they are a whooping 1,564 * 1559 pixels across. Translated in centimeters that equals a side of over 41,5 cm, while in inches that is approximately 16.30 inch. And of course, the resolution is 96 pixels per inch.

You have realized by now that the Windows vista Grande is an image. But it is better than that, it is the actual Windows Vista logo. And the dimensions are exquisite. You will not be able to find such generous dimensions on a Windows Vista logo anywhere else, because generally such logos are reduced in size to just a few KB .GIFs at best. But this is not the case here.

In fact Microsoft has yet again gone all out. And the Windows Vista Start Button weights in at 1.4 MB. The only actual downside of the image is the format. Microsoft is delivering a JPG even though the company has applauded the quality of its HD Photo format that is designed to replace the Joint Photographic Experts Group format and that is supported by default in Windows Vista.

The Windows Vista Start Button download is an integer part of a vast and luxuriant collection that Microsoft is offering for the press, but nobody is stopping you from downloading the image. However, while I now that a little Photoshop skill and a lot of imagination can go a long way, please keep in mind that the Windows Vista Start Button is a Microsoft registered trademark and that there are limitations associated with its usage. Otherwise, enjoy!
