Some Microsoft & GM joke

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 (and I just love this part):

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.

Funny Mr. Bill Gate's saying about Steve Job's new marketing campaign

Ha ha, I personally never met Bill & Steve, but I think they are bunch of hypocrites, just want to make $$$ by selling second/third grade products. They never improve their previous product, just keep on selling NEW PRODUCT !

They don't really care about people or this planet earth. They use cheap advertising campaign to fool us.

The fact is over 90% of desktop computers & notebooks come with pre-loaded MS Windows and god know's how many mobile phones will come with standard Windows OS. :(

In other hand, Mac OS probadly only covers less than 2% of world computers, and rest are covered by other non MS or Mac OS such as Linux.

Apple's Mac targets consumer & specialists, MS's Windows targets commercial & dumb pc users and both targets entertainment market, but truth is their products are not so good or nor specialize compare it to other companies anyway. :)

Product Quality & features & prices & marketshare:
