Microsoft vs. GM

[JwMonE99]

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and

affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.



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 $25.00 cars that got

1,000 miles to the gallon."



In response to Bill's comments, General Motors

issued a press release stating:



If GM had developed technology like Microsoft,

we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics


1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would

crash........

Twice a day.



2. Every time they repainted the lines in the

road, you would have to buy a new car.



3. Occasionally your car would die on the

freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road,

close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the

windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply

accept this.



4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a

left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in

which case you would have to reinstall the engine.



5. 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 run on only five percent of the roads.



6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator

warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed

An Illegal Operation" warning light.



7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?"

before deploying.



8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your

car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously

lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio

antenna.



9. Every time a new car was introduced car

buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of

the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.



10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to

turn the engine off.
