I see you've preserved them all here and analyzed their progression. Very interesting! I wonder what they'll go towards next. I also notice that the blues in Windows 7 background are very vibrant, they almost hurt my eyes. Compare that to the muted blues of the original clouds background and it makes me think they're trying to push a more vibrant theme also (or at least the color quality of the monitors that display that background). I'd like to see a comparison of the Mac backgrounds too, as historically I haven't been a mac user, and you make a note at the end comparing the two OS varieties.
