    They are nice.. :) You could try getting in the 'apple' to be more sharp and clear around the edges..

    also try some gradient' for b/g if possible.. and they would be nice too :)

    It looks good but the words just look like they were cut out from something else with mspaint.exe.

    wow really great wallpapers. however i have a few suggestions . the edges of the apple logo and text looks too sharp and edgy. it would be better to apply a little blur tool (photoshop) here. also u could reduce the contrast a bit to give a more silvery look to the apple. a slight light ray gradient can also be applied

    If you're interested in the exact font Apple used, its Myriad Pro :).

    And I do suggest definitely going with GIMP or Paint.NET for free Photoshop-like software. You can do a lot more with them than just Paint!

    I'm batting 2 for 2 today, eh? I read that as Paint.EXE :p.

    There are some rough edges on the Apple logo that could be smoothed out. Also, my personal opinion is to lower the Drop Shadow a bit!
