If Microsoft Built Cars...

1. A model year wouldn't be available until AFTER that calendar
   year.

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, you'd have
   to restart it. For some strange reason, you would just accept
   this.

4. You could only have one person at a time in your car, unless
   you bought a Car 95 or a Car NT, but then you'd have to buy
   more seats.

5. Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was solar powered, twice
   as reliable, 5 times as fast, but only ran on 5% of the roads.

6. The oil, alternator, gas, engine warning lights would be
   replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning light.

7. People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft
   cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in
   other brands for years.

8. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas (tm).

Merry Millennium
