MicroCars

ten things that would be different if microsoft started building cars:
- a particular model year of car wouldn't be available until after that
year instead of before it.
- 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, and you'd have to
restart it. for some strange reason, you'd just accept this.
- you could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought
a car 95 or a car nt. but then you'd have to buy more seats.
- sun motorsystems would make a car that was powered by the sun, twice
as reliable and 5 times as fast - but it would only run on 5% of the
roads.
- the oil, engine, gas and alternator 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 cars for
years.
- we'd all have to switch to microsoft gas.
- the u.s. government would be getting subsidies from an automaker,
instead of giving them.
- new seats would force everyone to have the same-size butt.
