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 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:

 

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 motorway for no reason. You

would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows,

shut off the engine, remove the key, replace the key, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could

continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

 

4. Occasionally, executing a simple move 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, was 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 air bag 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 be cause 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!"

 

and one more thing.................

 

When all else fails, you would have to call 'customer service' in some foreign country, and at premium call rates, and be instructed in broken English sounding more like some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!

 

You have to agree that GM do have a point - even if they are bankrupt!
