Title: North Korean Missile Test Delayed by Windows 8

Seems like using Windows 8 for missile launching is a no-no, because the North Koreans had a problem with a missile test. I hope everyone reading this realizes the Borowitz Report is satirical.

PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)—North Korea’s official news agency announced today that the military’s planned missile test had been put on hold because of “problems with Windows 8.”

Intelligence analysts said that the announcement gave rare insight into the inner workings of North Korea’s missile program, which until last year had been running on Windows 95.

The announcement from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) did not indicate a new scheduled time for a missile test, saying only that it was “working with Windows 8 support to resolve the issue.”

In the words of one intelligence analyst, “That means the test has been delayed indefinitely.”

A source close to the North Korean regime reported that Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is furious about the Windows 8 problems and is considering a number of options, including declaring war on Microsoft.

Yeah right. They cannot launch the Nuclear Missle app because it has bugs. Seems like ModernUI does not allow evil to happen and crashes the Missle app shortly after launch.  ;D

Too bad the ModernUI did not redirect the Missile and crash it into PYONGYANG
