In response to Bill’s comments, General Motors issued a press release Stating:- If GM had developed technology like Microsoft has, 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 over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut of the engine, 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 it would only run on five percent of the roads. 6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single? This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation? warning light and the car would not work. 7. The air bag system would ask? Are You Sure?? Before deploying. 8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed the radio antenna. 9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again, because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as in the old car. 10. You’d have to press the “Start” button to turn the engine off.
