[jeepmann4x4]

A Microsoft spokesman said only that Mr. Gates’s first day in his new job had been “a learning experience” and that, for the immediate future, he would go back to running Windows 7.

EDIT: Fair Warning: The Borowitz Report : The New Yorker is a off beat News report, not to be taken as Real News! With that said, have a look at some of their other stories!

Awesome! I just hope he's done lol

“Bill is usually a pretty calm guy, so it was weird to hear some of that language coming out of his mouth,”

Probably the same language many, many end users have used themselves.

"Welcome back to the mess you let MS become Mr. Gates"

 

[Jonguy30]

Was Mr. Gates still around when windows 7 was developed?

 

[Golden]

He better sign up here for some help.....installing W8.1 is dirt easy :shock:

 

[Urthboundmisfit]

Guys.... the Borowitz Report is news satire.

 

[Layback Bear]

No no it can't be satire. Everything on the net is true.

 

[ThrashZone]

Possibly his first connection will be with Facebook

Where did you read that? On the net?

Who cares if it's satire, it's still funny!

 

[Layback Bear]

Don't beat up on me, it's to early in the morning.
Yes it's funny. I liked it.

Not beating up on you (note the winking emoticon). I was playing off you and a recent TV commercial.

Sorry but I'm not buying this on face value...

Bill Gates’s first day at work in the newly created role of technology adviser got off to a rocky start yesterday as the Microsoft founder struggled for hours to install the Windows 8.1 upgrade

After failing to install the upgrade by lunchtime, Mr. Gates summoned the new Microsoft C.E.O. Satya Nadella, who attempted to help him with the installation, but with no success.

Now if Mr. Gates himself spoke on it, and elaborated, than I might believe it.

And BTW, we all know install problems can just as easily happen with any OS. We have no further to look than here Installation & Setup - Windows 7 Help Forums

What part of it being satire did you miss?

 

[sygnus21]

The one I didn't read, but instead the link posted in the OP's post.

Now if the OP's post was satire, than, yeah, I missed it

I'm sorry Guys/Gals, I though people would get a kick out of it and have a little fun.
I was not thinking about, not everyone would know about "The Borowitz Report".

Should I edit my first post???

Installing Windows 8 is the easy part. Using it is another story.

Its pretty straightforward. I really don't see much difference between the two

I didn't know about The Borowitz Report, but it didn't take me long to figure out what was going on. It totally cracked me up when it dawned on me. I nearly fell out of my chair when it said the new CEO got called in and had problems.
