Here is something which I had found on the net.
I had saved in my HD and forgot about it.Don't know if it's true.

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 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
