Bill Gates vs. Ford Motors

WRITTEN BY: EDDIE SNIPES  - FEB• 04•11

At  a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,  
  
‘If Ford had kept up with technology like the  computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got  1,000 miles to the  gallon.’  
  
In response to Bill ‘s comments, Ford issued a press release stating:  
  
If Ford 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 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.  
  
PS  – I ‘d like to add that when all else fails, you could call ‘customer service’ and be instructed how to fix your car  yourself!!!!
