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

In response 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
characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a
day.

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

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no
reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road,
close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and
reopen the windows 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 refuse to restart, in
which case you would 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 a single "This Car Has Performed An
Illegal Operation" warning light.

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

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would
lock you out and 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 would have
to learn how to drive all over again because none of the
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.

hahahahaha oh my god I almost peed my pants haha thats so great.

I've read these before, but...

Here's something much more similar to that:

Bill Gates, wanting to impress with success, decided to measure MS accomplishments against General Motors...

"If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 100000 mph"

General Motors responded:

"Yes, but would you really want to drive a car that crashes twice a day?"

That's so ingenious and hilarious!

Out of all of them, these are my favorite:

lol PHP..........why didnt u just say u liked em all cept 9 and 2?

Haha, I can't believe that never occurred to me; sometimes the brain is a mysterious thing indeed.
