Windows vs Ford For all of us who feel only the deepest love \u00a0and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, \u00a0read on :- At a recent computer expo .<\/p>\n
(COMDEX),Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer\u00a0industry with the auto industry and stated,<\/p>\n
“If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer\u00a0industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got\u00a01,000 miles to the gallon.”<\/p>\n
In response to Bill’s comments, Ford issued a press release\u00a0stating:<\/p>\n
If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would\u00a0all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and\u00a0I just love this part):<\/p>\n
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would\u00a0crash………twice a day.<\/p>\n
2.. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you\u00a0would have to buy a new car.<\/p>\n
3… Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no\u00a0reason. You would have to pull to the side of the ro ad,\u00a0close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and\u00a0reopen the windows before you could continue. For some\u00a0reason you would simply accept this.<\/p>\n
4…. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn\u00a0would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in\u00a0which case you would have to reinstall the engine.<\/p>\n
5….. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the\u00a0sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to\u00a0drive – but would run on only five percent of the roads.<\/p>\n
6…… The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning\u00a0lights would all be replaced by a single “This Car Has\u00a0Performed An Illegal Operation” warning light.<\/p>\n
7……. The airbag system would ask,”Are you sure?” before\u00a0deploying.<\/p>\n
8…….. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car\u00a0would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you\u00a0simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and\u00a0grabbed hold of the radio antenna.<\/p>\n
9……… Every time a new car was introduced car buyers\u00a0would have to learn how to drive all over again because none\u00a0of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old\u00a0car.<\/p>\n
10………. You’d have to press the “Start” button to turn\u00a0the engine off.<\/p>\n
PS – I’d like to add that when all else fails, you could\u00a0call “customer service” in some foreign country and be\u00a0instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car\u00a0yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
