Windows vista Memes

The corporate tech evolution in one perfect comic! Top panel: Apple guy compliments Susan, she's flattered. Bottom panel: Windows Vista guy says the exact same thing, and suddenly she's calling HR. It's basically the tech version of the "be attractive, don't be unattractive" rule. Apple gets away with everything while Windows Vista—literally the most universally hated OS in history—gets reported faster than it crashes. The irony is brutal. In tech, your market reputation determines whether the exact same behavior is "charming" or "call security immediately." Microsoft fans in shambles right now.

The meme captures that rare moment when Windows fanboys felt superior to Apple users. When Apple introduced their fancy "Liquid Glass" UI theme, it was basically Windows Vista's Aero Glass interface that Microsoft had launched years earlier—you know, that transparent, glossy UI that made your CPU sweat. It's the tech equivalent of watching your hipster friend excitedly discover vinyl records in 2023. "Revolutionary design," says Apple. Meanwhile, Windows users are sitting there like, "We've been doing this since our operating system was universally mocked as unusable." The supreme irony? Vista was ridiculed into oblivion while Apple gets praised for essentially repackaging the same aesthetic. Classic tech industry amnesia at its finest.
