jacked from HHC, funny so i share.....

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
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:
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 manoeuvre 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 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 stuff

I can't say I agree with most of it though, actually I think only 5 and 7 are really justified.
1, 3, 4 and 8 are basically the same, which I've experiences twice in more than two years.

10 is the best one. You have to click Start in windows to shutdown your PC. The irony.

[Null17]

I think I've read this before. Funny stuff

Pretty clever and humorous!

What's this one referring to?

yeah that confused me too, i think it has to do with Windows freezing, and having to hit CRTL+ALT+Delete

[Drex]

I've read this one before, very clever and funny

[Andrew]

Number 8 is indeed referring to the Ctrl-Alt-Delete shortcut. I've seen the joke before, but it's still good, still apt.
