These are several musings, in no particular order, of things that
would be different if Microsoft made cars.
- A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until AFTER that
year,instead of before.
- Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a
new car.
- Occasionally your car would just die for no reason, you'd have to
restart it. For some strange reason, you would just accept
this.
- You could only have one person at a time in your car, unless you
bought a car '95 or a car NT, but then you'd have to buy more
seats.
- You would be constantly pressured to upgrade your car. Wait a sec,
it's that way NOW!
- Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was solar powered, twice
as reliable, 5 times as fast, but only ran on 5% of the roads.
- The oil, alternator, gas, engine warning lights would be replaced
with a single "General Car Fault" warning light.
- People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft cars,
forgetting completely that they had been available in other brands
for years.
- We would still be waiting on the "6000 sux 58'" model to come out.
- We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas (tm).
- The US government would be GETTING subsidies from an automaker,
instead of giving them.
- New seats will force everyone to have the same size butt.
