> 3.Occasionally your car would just die for no reason, you'd have to
>restart it, and, 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 Car95 or a CarNT, but then you'd have to buy more seats.
>
> 5.You would be constantly pressured to upgrade your car. Wait a sec,
>it's that way NOW!!!
>
> 6.Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was solar powered, twice as
>reliable, five times as fast, but only ran on 5% of the roads.
>
> 7.The oil, alternator, gas, and temperature warning lights would be
>replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning light.
>
> 8.People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft cars,
>forgetting completely that they had been available in other brands for
years.
>
> 9.We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas (tm).
>
> 10.Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler would all be complaining because
>Microsoft was putting a radio (probably an A.M. radio at that) in all of
>its models.
