#528: Windows 7 explain

Windows 7

[Megan is standing behind Cueball sitting at a desk using his laptop.]

Megan: What are you doing?

Cueball: Trying the Windows 7 beta.

Megan: Why is it showing a picture of Hitler?

[The laptop’s screen is shown with Adolf Hitler’s face on it, drawn in regular xkcd style with no facial features other than his hairstyle and mustache.]

Cueball: I don’t know. I can’t get it to do anything else.

Megan: There’s no UI?

Cueball: No, just Hitler.

[Return to the original scene, except Megan is now scratching her head in confusion.]

Megan: Did you try Ctrl-Alt-Delete?

Cueball: It just makes Hitler’s eyes flash.

Megan: Huh.

[Scene remains basically the same, except Megan is no longer scratching her head and Cueball is no longer typing on the laptop.]

Megan: Well, it’s better than Vista.

Cueball: True.
