When Bill Gates went to a conference one time, he said that if the auto industry is as fast as the computer industry, we can all buy $25 cars that would run 1000 miles with half a gallon of gas. And General Motors said “Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?”

here are more statements made by GM
IF MICROSOFT BUILT CARS….
1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.

2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

3. Occosionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too.

4. You could only have on person in the car at a time, unless you bought “Car2000” or “CarNT”. But, then you would have to buy more seats.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by sun, was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive – but would only run on 5 percent of the roads.

6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run much slower.

7. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by single “general car default” warning light.

8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.

9. The airbag system would say “are you sure?” before going off.

10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.

There are three engineers in a car; an electrical engineer, a chemical engineer and a Microsoft engineer.
Suddenly the car just stops by the side of the road, and the three engineers look at each other wondering what could be wrong. The electrical engineer suggests stripping down the electronics of the car and trying to trace where a fault might have occurred. The chemical engineer, not knowing much about cars, suggests that maybe the fuel is becoming emulsified and getting blocked somewhere.
Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about anything, comes up with a suggestion “Why don’t close all the windows, get out, get back in, then open the windows again, and maybe it’ll work!?”
