 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.
