Things That Would Be Different If Microsoft Started Building Cars 1) A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until after that year - instead of before it. 2) Every time they repainted the lines on the road you'd have to buy a new car. 3) Occasionally your car would just die for no reason, and you'd have to re-start it. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this. 3a) Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail to restart and you'd have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this too. 4) You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car '95" or a "Car NT." But then you'd have to buy more seats. 5) Sun Motor Systems would make a car that was powered by the sun, twice as reliable, an five times as fast - but it would only run on five percent of the roads. 6) The oil, engine, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning light. 7) People would get excited about the "new" feature in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars for many years. 8) We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas. 9) New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt. 10) The air bag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off. 11) They wouldn't build their own engines but form a cartel with their engine supplier. The latest engine would have 16 cylinders, multi-point fuel injection, and 4 turbos, but it would be a side valve design so you could use Model-T Ford parts on it. There would be an "Engium Pro: with bigger turbos, but it would be slower on most existing roads.
