The Top Ten Ways Things Would Be Different if Microsoft Built Cars
<HR>
<PRE>
1. A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until after that
year, instead of before.

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy
a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would just die for no reason and you would have
to restart it. For some strange reason, you would just accept this as
normal.

4. You could only have one person at a time in your car, unless you
bought a car '95 or a car NT, but then you would have to buy more seats.

5. Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was solar powered, twice as
reliable, and 5 times as fast, but only ran on 5% of the roads.

6. The oil, alternator, gas, and engine 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 brands for
years.

8. Each morning, you would have to take your steering wheel out to the
car, and install it per the "plug and pray" technique. 20% of the time, the
car would not "recognize" the steering wheel, and you would have to 
reinstall
it. For some strange reason, you would happily accept this also.

9. We would all have to switch to Microsoft Gas (tm).

10. The company store would sell Microsoft cars that retailed for $25K at
an employee discounted price of $3K. Employee relatives and friends would
constantly pester them to buy them a car using their VISA number, and
ship it to them.
