Ten Things That Would Be Different if Microsoft Started Building Cars:



1. A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until after that 
   year instead of before it.

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new 
   car.

3. Occasionally your car would just die for no reason, and you'd have to 
   restart it. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this.

4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought a 
   Car 95 or a Car NT. But then you'd have to buy more seats.

5. Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was powered by the sun, twice as 
   reliable, and five times as fast - but it would only run on 5 percent of 
   the roads.

6. The oil, engine, gas, and alternator lights would be replaced with a 
   single "General Car Fault" warning light.

7. People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft cars, 
   forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars for 
   years.

8. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas.

9. The U.S. government would be getting subsidies from an automaker, instead 
   of giving them.

10. New seat would force everyone to have the same-size butt.
