Microsoft vs. General Motors

At a computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the
computer industry with the auto industry and stated:
"If GM had kept up with the 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 should have issued
a press release stating: "If GM had developed technology like
Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
(Part I)

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
car windows, shut it off, 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. Only one person at a time could use the car unless you bought
"CarNT," but then you would have to buy more seats

6. 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
only run on five percent of the roads.

7. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would
all be replaced by a single "General Protection Fault" warning light.
