By Phil Johnson, ITworld | Windows, cartoon, slideshow Add a new comment

August 27, 2009, 8:00 AM — The IT Underworld cartoon follows George and Elias, two lowly foot soldiers in the IT army of a large company, and their battles with clueless end users and meddling execs.

Between Vista's fabled shortcomings and the near frenzy over Windows 7's impending arrival, there's plenty that's funny about Windows. And George and Elias are right in the thick of it!

From a beer-fueled expression of love for Vista to shoehorning Windows 7 onto a netbook and Windows Update fire drills, IT Underworld takes it all on. Ready? Let's get started.

Feel the burn

While Apple and Linux fans (dare we say fanatics) wear their loyalty on their sleeves, Windows users are more likely to feel the burn of brand awareness.
