Gotta point out, that hasn't been the Microsoft logo since Win7.
*leans hard on cane:
Ya got a problem with crusty old memes, kid?
The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
In my day kids respected their elder memes... They regularly shitposted them and people were grateful for those crusty memes.

At least it's recognizable. Windows 12 will probably be just a single blue square.
"It's a single pane window. A single pane of glass. It symbolizes the synergy between man and machine. Window 12 offers an enhanced user experience with greater simplicity and clarity. Also, we've revamped our mobile and iOT OS lines which we're calling 'Porthole 12' and 'Peephole 12' respectively." -Microsoft, Probably
Microsoft doesn't give things new names. It reuses the same name for a vastly different product to keep everyone confused. Outlook. Outlook (the hosted email service). Outlook express. Skype. Skype for business. Teams. Teams professional. Etc etc.
If you really want to be pedantic.. that's not even the Microsoft logo to begin with. Microsoft didn't use the Windows logo for their own company logo, at least during that time period.
Oh, and that's Windows Vista's logo anyway.
That's fair, I should've said "That logo hasn't been used by MS since Win7". But it's still the same logo, minus the backdrop.
Gotta point out, that meme template has been around before then.
As long as the same text continues relevant...
Sorry, I think the last Windows I had installed anywhere was XP. I was like "which windows logo is that? should I look it up?" but then I was like "nah, fuck it".
They used to go for the Distort tool. Then, the Skew tool was all the rage. And now, they realized that Photoshop subscriptions are a ripoff and stopped using it altogether.
The meme itself must be a good 15 years old too
No, I just made it myself. It's brand new and shiny.
