INSTALLING WINDOWS
Overview
This is a two-panel stick figure comic meme that jokes about Microsoft forcing Copilot into Windows installations. In the first panel, a Windows installer character walks past a line of expected device drivers telling them to "keep walking". In the second panel, the installer angrily stops and yells at unexpected Copilot asking "Who the fuck invited you?!", to which Copilot nervously replies that it is "friends with the owner", referring to Microsoft forcing the AI assistant onto Windows even when users do not want it. The meme reflects common user frustration that pre-installed unwanted bloatware like Copilot is included by default in clean Windows installs, when users only need basic drivers.
Origin notes
This meme originates from Reddit as a user-created tech meme, as noted in the provided source information. It comments on the controversial policy from Microsoft that forces Copilot to be included and pre-installed in all recent versions of Windows, which is a common complaint among power users and people doing clean Windows installations.
![This is a 4-panel digital comic meme that uses dark, sarcastic humor to criticize Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system and tease the upcoming Windows 12.
Panel 1: The Grim Reaper gestures to a haloed Windows 11 logo (depicted as a departing spirit) and says, "IT IS TIME TO GO."
Panel 2: The Windows 11 spirit asks, "Was I a good OS?" as the Reaper's hand pulls away.
Panel 3: The Grim Reaper responds with a deadpan, "NO."
Panel 4: The Reaper delivers a harsh roast: "You were absolute trash. I don't know what more Microslop [a playful, critical misspelling of Microsoft] has to offer but I bet it won't be good," while the Windows 11 logo sinks into a water-like area, defeated. The meme taps into common user frustrations with Windows 11 and anticipates disappointment with the next Windows release.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/ea/87/29/4d/ea87294d212f23bafa34633317cf7f0c.jpeg.webp)
