Humor: Microsoft Automobiles
By Jody Kravitz

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 Car NT.  But then you'd have to buy more
seats.

5: Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was powered by the sun,
was twice as reliable, and five times as fast -- but it would
only run on 5 percent of the roads.

6: The oil, engine, gas, and alternator warning lights would be
replaced by a single "General Car Fault" warning light.

7: People would get excited about "new" features in Microsoft cars,
forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars
for years.

8: We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gasoline.

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.
