Haha, This is funny. I recieved it from a work email.

"for all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compated the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we could all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'

In respinse to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:
'If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characterstics:
1) For no reason whatsoever, your cas would crash....twice a day.

2) Everytime they repainted the lines in the road, you have to buy a new car.

3) Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windos before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4) Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refure to restart, in which case you 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 would run on only five percent of the roads.

6) The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by single "This Card HAs Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7) The airbag systen would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8) Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever your car would lock you out, refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9) Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers woiuld have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the old controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10) You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off"

ROFL! I adore this, and hope everyone got a giggle out of it too! :)
Dina, you are a silly goose.

Don't forget though, that onStar would work the same way as Windows Firewall.

It would ask you if you need it, then do absolutely nothing.
I'd be using the car that has the best specs because anyone was able to help improve it.
The chinese would still be dominating us. =(
