Microsoft has announced that the Windows Ugly Sweater: Bliss Edition is now available for purchase through the Xbox Gear Shop, a perfect item for those who love Windows XP’s default (and iconic) “Bliss” wallpaper so much that they’d wear it at a Christmas party.

Here’s a description for the product, which costs $69.99 but includes a 30-day return policy for those who realize the wallpaper looks a lot better on monitors than it does on one’s body:

Step back in time to the era of Minesweeper, Internet Explorer and low-rise jeans by purchasing your favorite Windows XP wallpaper, Bliss, in knit! Only while supplies last!

  • Your other sweaters wish they had clouds on them
  • Made of 55% Cotton / 45% Acrylic
  • Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, and never take off
  • Follow @Windows and post your tasteful sweater selfie with #WindowsUglySweater
  • This year we’re supporting The Nature Conservancy, whose mission is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

Windows XP was officially released 22 years ago, on October 25, 2001.

Here’s an 8K version of Windows XP’s “Bliss” wallpaper for those who want to remember the older days of Windows, while a modern, 4K version from Microsoft can be found here.
