Why Bill Gates decides to sell off Microsoft
Of course he’s not selling! But the following snippet we received through email seems to give a plausible reason.
Letter from Banta Singh to Mr. Bill Gates
Subject: Problems with my new computer
Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.
- There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.
- One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

- There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot to trace the key with this 'find' button, but were unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.
- My child learnt 'Microsoft Word' and now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?
- I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?
- It is surprising that Windows says 'My Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.
- There is 'Microsoft Office'; what about 'Microsoft Home' since I use the PC at home only.
- You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past
Documents'?
- You provide 'My Network Places'. For God’s sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.
Regards, Banta
PS: Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling Windows?
