TEN THINGS THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT
IF MICROSOFT STARTED BUILDING CARS

Special thanks to Grant Ridge for passing this list along.

1. New seats would force everyone to have the same-size butt.
2. The US government would be getting subsidies from an automaker, instead of giving them.
3. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas.
4. People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars for years.
5. The oil, engine, gas, and alternator warning lights would be replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning light.
6. Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was powered by the sun, twice as reliable, and five times as fast - but it would only run on 5 percent of the roads.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
10. A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until after that year instead of before it.
