"Ten Things That Would Be
Different if Microsoft Started Building Cars"
1. A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until
after that year instead of before it.
2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to
buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would just die for no reason, and you'd
have to restart it. For some strange reason, you'd just accept
this.
4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless
you bought a Car 95 or a Car NT. But then you'd have to buy more
seats.
5. Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was powered by the
sun,twice as reliable, and five times as fast -- but it would
only run on 5% of the roads.
6. The oil, engine, gas, and alternator warning lights would be
replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning
light.
7. People would get excited about the "new" features in
Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been
available in other cars since 1984.
8. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas.
9. The U.S. government would be *getting* subsidies from an auto
maker, instead of giving them.
10. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
