The Klingons in Discovery should be working on a malware attack, apparently.

When will we get Legendary Clippy?

It looks like you're trying to get the warp engines online. Would you like help with that?

What if they're in mid fight with a bunch of birds-of-pray, and the view screen goes "Your Windows license has expired. Would you like to renew it?"

For those who don't want to click the link, here is an excerpt:

"A scene in the most recent episode of Star Trek: Discovery finds main character Michael Burnham set to work debugging some mysterious computer code. Well, mysterious to her, at least — eagle-eyed computer programmers instantly recognized what she was working on as proof Starfleet is still running Windows in the year 2256.

Considering how fast computers evolve, it’s more than a little hard to believe we would still be working with what is recognizably Windows code nearly 250 years from now. In fact, the code in question comes from Stuxnet, a bit of malware likely developed by the American and Israeli governments to damage Iran’s nuclear program, which goes just a little against the whole Star Trek ethos."
