FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for February 21, 2025

I bought a t-shirt in 1996 that had a photo of Bill Gates as a Borg. It said “Resistance is Futile. You will be Assimilated”. I wore it for years every Halloween.

So glad I do not use Microsoft stuff. Ubuntu is the way.

Well, XP sure didn’t do it. Also 10 and 11 and everything in between.

domination with xp ???? LMBO.

Yes, like creating an OS that needs special hardware your machine doesn’t have so you need to buy a new one or switch to Linux.

Windows XP???? AUUUUUGGGGHHHH! Flashback city – NO NO NO NO!

When Jason typed, Is there a God? The computer replied, “There Is Now!”.

I guess they didn’t see android comming.

XP was one of Microsoft’s most popular operating systems mainly because it was the first that didn’t give you the Blue Screen of Death every day and it was around for so long.

Popular is a relative term.

Jason should have focused on what was happening over at Twitter, instead of worrying about Microsoft.

All the way up to XP, huh? How futuristic.

It was always the rumor that Microsoft never threw away old code because they weren’t sure what it did, so they just added new code for new features (aka “bugs”) and that’s how it got so bloated.

Which I’d made the switch to Ubuntu 20 years ago. I so despise Windows and all things Microsoft…all things.

What’s the code for “freeze the screen” and “do everything in the most clumsy way possible” and “make users click 5 times where once would suffice”?

Very glad we switched to Mac 20 years ago.

I liked XP, extremely stable. Windows 10, not so much.

Very little has changed since the time this comic was first published…

Sigh! OS/2 was so much better than Windoze.
