 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. 

  1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.
  2. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.
  3. 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.
  4. My child learnt 'Microsoft Word' and now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?
  5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?
  6. 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.
  7. There is 'Microsoft Office'; what about 'Microsoft Home' since I use the PC at home only.
  8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past
    Documents'?
  9. 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?
