At least they told us the truth

This meme uses the popular 'Always Has Been' two astronaut meme format, overlaid on the iconic Windows XP default 'Bliss' wallpaper of green grassy hills under a blue sky with clouds. The top text sets up the premise: 'When Microsoft confirms Windows has a global device ID you can't turn off:'. The astronaut on the right, who has the Microsoft Windows logo on his spacesuit, is pointing a pistol at the other astronaut, and his dialogue reads 'Always have been'. The astronaut on the left wears a tin foil hat on top of his spacesuit, responding with 'Turns out we were right all along'. The gag jokes that long-running conspiracy theories about Microsoft tracking Windows users without an opt-out are factually correct, meaning the suspicious tin foil hat wearing users were proven right by the official confirmation of the unremovable global device ID.

This is a remixed derivative of the viral 'Always Has Been' astronaut meme template, edited to reference conversations about Microsoft Windows privacy issues and the reveal of an unturnable-off global device ID for Windows systems. It was originally shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, as specified by the provided source information, and edits the original meme template to add the Microsoft logo to one astronaut, a tin foil hat to the other, and place the scene on the recognizable Windows XP Bliss background to tie the joke to the Windows operating system.
