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 the technology like the computer industry has,
we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1000 mi/gal."

Recently General Motors addressed this comment by releasing the statement, "Yes, but would you
want your car to crash twice a day?"

IF MICROSOFT BUILT CARS...

1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.

2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this,
restart and drive on.

3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to
reinstall the engine.  For some strange reason, you would accept this too.

4. 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.

5. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.

6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, and
twice as easy to drive -- but would only drive on 5 percent of the roads.

7. The Macintosh car owners could get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars which would
make their cars run much slower.

8. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default"
warning light.

9. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.

10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.
