Microsoft vs. GM================For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection forthe way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
Microsoft vs. GM================For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection forthe way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At a 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 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 over 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.
Have a great day! :)

I remember that from when Windows was brand new, version 3.0. It really was that way too. I kept running a lot of programs in DOS.
Ha ha! The comments are funnier then the post!
I went to the dump the other day and I can't roll down the electric window on the driver's side so I have to open the door when I stop at the window to tell the attendant what I have to dump. When I told him the window was broke, he said, "I thought subaru's were dependable?" I said, "only foreign made cars are dependable but this particular model is a foreign car made in subaru's Indiana plant and that's why it's a junk lol!
Very funny
