Bill gates Vs GM

[marco84]

Im aure alot of you have probably read this before, but it made me laugh anyway.

 

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection

for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a

recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly

compared the computer industry with the auto industry and

stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer

industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got

1,000 miles to the gallon."

 

 

 

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a

press release stating: If GM had developed technology like

Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following

characteristics (and I just love this part):

 

1. For no reason whatsoever, your 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 to the side of the road,

close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and

reopen the windows before you could continue. For some

reason you would simply accept this.

 

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn

would cause your car to shut down and refuse to

restart, in

which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

 

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun,

reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive --

but would run on only five percent of the roads.

 

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights

would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An

Illegal Operation" warning light.

 

 

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before

deploying.

 

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car 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.

 

9. 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 as the old car.

 

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the

engine off.

Funny for sure; but it wasn't a recent COMDEX at all. That joke is older that some hills!
