     @cohle I wonder if MS licensed them and they were found, or if they were gotten in the XP source leak

     @cohle @coolboymew Going to try to convert these to ANSI, to use as BBS avatars.

     >If you aren't aware, Microsoft licensed most of their user account pictures from stock photo sites such as Corbis and Getty Images. I have used a certain downloader tool to retrieve many of these at higher resolutions, and in some cases I even got some directly from old royalty free stock photo CDs. As stock photo sites sometimes take photos down, not all of them are present in this pack, such as palm tree or skateboarder, but I have been trying my best to find them. Also, if you're going to submit any of your finds to this pack, please be aware that I do not accept upscaled user account pictures, as I feel they have less value than the original images. You can always try contacting the original photographers for full res versions, although be prepared to spend a bit of money.

     @cohle @coolboymew They're not entirely terrible with Chafa. But I'll probably commission someone to capture the spirit of them, more than a 1:1 copy.
