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.
