Bill Gates is working to institute Common Core standards because he doesn’t want new Microsoft employees, he wants new tech support customers. Bill Gates is trying to create a Cargo Cult of idiots worshipping at the altar of Microsoft tech support.
Now there's a joke in itself!
Had two minor problems with Win 8.1 on a new laptop, called Microsoft tech support, got into an argument with both techs I spoke with, after an hour or so hung up on both, solved the problems myself after a couple of days.
They will, under no circumstance, admit that the problem was with Win 8.1, even after I proved it.
Arrogant bastards.
Still think Win 8.1 is good and very fast, but the Microsoft folk ain't helping their cause.
