Is that for real? Where did you get this?

Whether it's fake or not, some people have way too much time on their hands (either to fake an account or break into a real one).

I meant, is this an actual account meant to parody Bill Gates, or just a doctored screenshot?

The number to the right is incorrect. There are 25 messages in total, and 20 new ones.

Why does it say "22?" This makes it obvious that it's doctored.

This makes me sad.

No, there are really 22 new messages there. The Hotmail Staff one and the MSN Internet Service ones are new messages. If they had already been read the newpaper icon wouldn't appear next to the message.

I still that it is fake though. Why would BillyG take a screenshot of his inbox to begin with(especially knowing that sharks on the internet would love to get their hands on the pic)? There is no logical reason to do so.  

My conlclusion is somebody had too much time on their hands so they made that image for a laugh.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

Your Hotmail Kung-Fu is obviously greater than mine.

Though, it's obviously a joke.

Of course it's a joke. As if George Bush would be able to send email.

I was just wondering how it was done: Photoshop or fake account? I opt for fake account. Anyway, it's pretty funny.

They should have voted for Al Gore. He would be able to send email; after all, he did invent the internet.  :D
