GATES SPENDS ENTIRE FIRST DAY BACK IN OFFICE TRYING TO INSTALL WINDOWS 8.1

[Zorro]

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.

The installation hit a snag early on, sources said, when Mr. Gates repeatedly received an error message informing him that his PC ran into a problem that it could not handle and needed to restart.

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.

While the two men worked behind closed doors, one source described the situation as “tense.”

1. That's satire, right? That didn't really happen. Right?

I mean, the Windows 8 is awful. But Gates doesn't really have to deal with it, does he?

3. Thanks.

I'm never sure around here.

4. Yeah, it should be a requirement to note that so something is satire.

A few have even made their way into LBN.

5. For Christ sakes. At least give attribution.

So people know it's Andy Borowitz. And that it's satire.

Sheesh!

6. Apparently "Borowitzreport" in the link is not a clue

for the illiterate.

Sheesh!
