Ten things that would be different if Microsoft started building cars:
1. A particular model year wouldn't be available until after that year instead of before it.
2. Every time they repaint 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 restart it. For some strange reason you'd just accept this.
4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought a Car 95 or a Car NT. But you'd have to buy more seats.
5. Sun Motorsystems would make a car powered by the sun, twice as reliable, and five times as fast-but it would only run on 5 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' features in the Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars for years.
8. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas.
9. The U.S. government would be getting subsidies from an automaker, instead of giving them.
10. New seats would force everyone to have the same-size butt.
