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:fixed, I thought it was kinda ironic.

Thanks I read it on my phone but Tapatalk screws up sometimes.

 

[sdifox]

muahahahaha, basically what everyone else does.

 

[ultimatebob]

Ha! Even BillG thinks that Windows 8 sucks. Fantastic.

Now, can we stop screwing around and give users an option to put the Start menu back without installing third party software?? 8.1 already gave us an option to stop booting to the Start screen by default, which is progress.

WTF is this, it comes across as The New Yorker trying to do The Onion.

Oh, that is what this is. Wow...the New Yorker actually pays someone to write stuff like that?

 

[Strk]

Gates sure has aged terribly.

But that's besides the point because I had a similar issue with 8.1. I got it working eventually though.

 

[Printer Bandit]

is this for real or like the onion? not sure.

 

[darkswordsman17]

Its some shitty blog where the guy tries to write like The Onion.

Oops, I didn't realize it was a joke. Mods please delete.

Is he on meth? He's aged like 20 years in the last 20 months.

 

[darkewaffle]

The dude is almost 60, I mean he's going to start looking old sometime lol.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Gates could probably still jump over a chair without a running start.

You are just too used to plastic people.

Nah he's aging horribly... probably due to improper nutrition, sitting on his ass all day and believing way too intensely in medical science panaceas. I have seen eighty year-olds who look better.

SOme people age faster/slower than others. There is no standard.

And you have no clue what he does or if he sits on his ass. You are not at his house all day watching him

 

[Red Squirrel]

Hahahahaha now that is too funny.

Is he a waiter, doctor, teacher or in retail? Are we on a tech forum? Are you sitting on your ass right now?

As far as slowing down the aging process through nutrition, just ask people in Asia. Those in the US are resoundingly clueless.

Do you smoke crack or meth?

 

[bradley]

Do you smoke crack or meth?

Yeah because the oxidation-inflammation theories of aging are bogus. We're on a tech forum, PubMed it. Might as well do something constructive while ass sitting.

said the same thing when he was on charlie rose

 

[Leros]

For those that haven't figured it out yet, this is satire.

 

[akahoovy]

I had some hope this was real. Just 'cuz.
