Top 10 Ways Microsoft Would Change The Auto Business
----------------------------------------------------

10. New seats would require everyone to have the same butt size.

9.  We would all have to switch to Microsoft Gas.

8.  The U.S. government would be forced to rebuild all of the roads for 
    Microsoft cars; they will drive on the old roads, but they run very 
    slowly.

7.  The oil, alternator, gas and engine warning lights would be 
    replaced by a single 'General Car Fault' warning light.

6.  Sun MotorSystems would make a car that was solar-powered, twice as 
    reliable and five times as fast, but would run on only 5% of the 
    roads.

5.  You would be constantly pressured to upgrade your car.

4.  You could have only one person in the car at a time, unless you 
    bought a Car95 or CarNT -- but then you would have to buy ten more 
    seats and a new engine.

3.  Occasionally, your car would die for NO apparent reason and you 
    would have to restart it.  Strangely, you would just accept this as 
    normal.

2.  Every time the lines of the road were repainted, you would have to 
    buy a new car.

1.  People would get excited about the new features of the latest 
    Microsoft cars, forgetting that these same features had been     
    available from other car makers for years!
