I think that's most people's experience. :D

Don't be silly. He's rich. That excuses everything.

Channeling Terry Gillium:
Oh, there you go, bringing "class" into it again!
or...
"How do you know he's Bill Gates?"
"'Cause he hasn't got bits all over 'im."

Betters? BETTERS?
I'm fairly certain you meant to put quotes around that word, but if not, I've known my share of the wealthy & political classes (including members of my own family), and the one characteristic common to almost all of them is an almost complete lack of ethics.
Betters? I suppose in the same way dog <expletive deleted> stuck to the bottom of a shoe is better than the wearer of the shoe.

The story would have been funnier if they had put Gates old computer in a giant PC-eating shredder and given him a new Win 8 box ...
Fictional Story
It's a funny story, but that's all it is. Like The Onion, Andy Borowitz writes fiction.

I think most people can figure that out.
People like Gates don't install their own software, they hire people to do that for them.

They often don't need to. Intimidation works just as well.
