I hope people don't mind wasting a little time with humour :)

What would Microsoft be like if it built cars.....

1. A particular model of Car would not be available until after that
year, instead of before.

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 would just accept this.

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

5. Sun Motorsystems would make a Car that was solar powered, twice as
reliable, 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 Failure" warning light.

7. People would get excited about the "new" feature in Microsoft Cars,
forgetting completely that they have been available in other brands for
years.

8. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas (tm).

9. New seats will force everyone to have the same size ass.

10. There would be many hidden features that you would not know about
and not find in the Car manuals either.
