If Microsoft Made Cars:

1. For no reason whatsoever your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver 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. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT." But then you would have to buy more seats.

6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five per cent of the roads.

7. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.

8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.

9. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.

10. 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 grab hold of the radio antenna.

11. MS would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a MS subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, MS would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.

12. Everytime MS introduced a new model 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.

13. You'd press the "start" button to shut off the engine.]]>Feb 2nd 2006 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/02/microsoft-powered-fiats-to-debut-in-geneva/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/02/microsoft-powered-fiats-to-debut-in-geneva/

Then while the driver panics because he/she can't see outside the windshield, they hurry up and press "ok". Then, immediately after that, they see:

Error! StrWhlDrv.exe is missing a critical component and can no longer run properly. The following programs may or may not function correctly:
