Never mind, Here is the text

REDMOND, WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—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.”

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

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."

ends.


I think it's a poor attempt at satire.

Priceless! You couldn't make it up! [Although, one or two have

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

Not "can't": "don't". And I suspect the answer is to be found in the
marketing department.
