030 - If Microsoft Built Cars
Thanks
to the generous person at Yellow Freight (where I was holding a class) who
left this on a cafeteria table!
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 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 buy more
seats.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five
times as fast, twice as easy to drive - but would only run on 5 percent of
the roads.
6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their
cars, which would make their cars run more slowly.
7. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single
"general car default" warning light.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
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.
