O/T Joke last one : MICROSOFT VS. GM

[Guest guest]

At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the

computer industry and stated, “ if GM had kept up with technology

like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $15 cars

that get 1000 miles to the gallon.

 

In response to Bill’s comments, General Motors couldn’t wait to

issue a press release stating: if GM had developed technology like

Microsoft’s Windows Platform, we would all be driving cars with the

following characteristics:

 

 

1. For no reason whatsoever, you 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 the

windows, shut off the care, restart it and reopen the windows before

you could continue. For some reason, you would simply accept this.

 

4. Occasionally executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would

cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you

would run on only 5% of the roads.

 

5. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would

all be replace by a single “This Car Has Performed An Illegal

Operation.”

 

6. The Airbag system would ask, “Are you Sure?” before deploying.

 

7. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever your care 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.

 

8. 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.

 

9. You’d have to press the “Start Button to turn the engine off.
