This is an amplification, of sorts, of the tagline: "If cars evolved as
fast as computers....":
If Microsoft Made Cars
Copyright 1995 by Anyone With Any Computer
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
New seats would require everyone to have the same size butt
The oil, alternator, gas and engine warning lights would be replaced
by a single "General Car Fault" warning light
Some people would trade their 95's back in for their previous cars
We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas (tm)
Microsoft Rapid Transit would be offered as an alternative, but would
be
_really_ slow
The U.S. Government would receive subsidies from an automaker
Sun Motor Systems would make a car that was solar-powered, twice as
reliable,
five times as fast, but would only run on 5% of the roads
Apple Motors would make a car that was much more comfortable,
but wouldn't be around to stock spare parts
[did Wozniak and Jobs once own Triumph?]
Every car dealership owner would look like Bill Gates
[_this_ is enough to convince you all to fix up that old Triumph]
Constant pressure would be applied to upgrade your car
Steve Jobs would ride a bike
You could only have one person in your car at a time, unless you bought
Car 95
or Car NT -- but then you'd have to buy more seats
Occasionally your car would die for no reason, and you would have to
restart it.
You would just accept this as normal
Every time the lines on the road were repainted, you'd have to buy a
new car
People would get excited about the new features in Microsoft Cars, then
realize
that the same features had been available in other cars for years
Cheers.

My other Triumph doesn't run, either....
