A Synopsis of the Microsoft Car
At a recent computer expo (Comdex), Bill Gates reportedly compared the
computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with
technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00
cars that get 100 miles to the gallon." Recently, General Motors addresses
this comment by releasing this statement, "yes, but would you want your car
to crash twice a day?"
Below is a synopsis of the Microsoft Car: Every time they repainted the
lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car. Occasionally your car
would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this,
restart and drive on. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your
car to stop and fail, and you would have to re-install the engine. for some
strange reason, you would accept this too. You could only have one person in
the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT". But then you would
have to buy more seats.
Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five
times faster, twice as easy to drive, but would only run on 5% of the roads.
The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades for their
cars, which would make their cars run much slower. The oil, gas and
alternator lights would be replaced with single "general car fault" lights.
The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off. If you were
involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.

-if you have to ask get out of the way-
Have you ever been stopped by a traffic cop and, while he was
writing a ticket or giving you a warning, you got the feeling that
he would just love to yank you out of the car, right through the
window, and smash your face into the front fender?...
