 The fourth panel shows Megan commenting that this Windows 7 beta is better than {{w|Windows Vista}}, to which Cueball agrees. The joke is that Megan deems a mostly non-functional and vaguely sinister OS, which is likely malware, better than Windows Vista, which was generally perceived as one of the worst Windows OSes.

-This Comic came out 2 weeks after the beta version of the at that time not yet released {{w|Windows 7}} got leaked on the internet, and 2 days after a trojan-infected version got leaked as well. [[Megan]] is observing [[Cueball]] use a laptop on which he has installed the Windows 7 beta. However, the alleged Windows 7 beta is showing nothing but a picture of {{w|Adolf Hitler}} and Cueball is unable to do anything. This could hint at the version containing malware. Cueball then presses {{w|Control-Alt-Delete}} (the well-known Windows Secure Attention Sequence which opens Task Manager or displays a list of options which includes 'Shut Down' and 'Restart') as suggested by Megan, but {{tvtropes|AdolfHitlarious|only manages to make the picture's eyes flash}}.
