I really like it, the typography is very well done, albeit perhaps kerned a bit too close. Also, I think it would be more correct to capitalise the 'w' on 'windows' - referring to the OS, instead of a physical window.
I like the general style. Perhaps the only thing in it's way to being official Ubuntu sanctioned artwork, is it's lack of Ubuntu palette besides the logo. Perhaps the gray background could be replaced by either orange or browish tints.
Overall, a very good wallpaper and design! I like it a lot!
Perhaps it would be correct to capitalise the 'w', but I was trying to target windows indirectly. I don't want to slap a microsoft feel to it or add tm at the end of Windows. In a way the message is there in a less obvious way.
A lot of people don't see it because I admit I haven't done the best job in conveying it but it's a window inside a grey room. The room is grey because it is a symbol of a closed box, a closed room, a prison in a sense with Linux you open that window. Sort of like the allegory of the cave. Perhaps the ray of light getting in could be Ubuntu based colors, since it still shows the room grey and dull.
Hope that made sense, thanks for the constructive critisim.
First off, everyone here at deviantART would like to say THANK YOU!!! We have received an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm for the launch of version 6 and believe that this has been our best-received launch to date.

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
