Bill Gates vs. GM

[IowaZR-1]

Bill Gates wanted to look good and impress everyone with his success. He decided to measure the accomplishments of Microsoft against General Motors. The comparison went like this: If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50. In response to all this goading, GM responds: "Yes, but would you really want to drive a car that crashes twice a day?

I wonder if microsoft abondons their customers like gm. hi i have this cool 65k car(90mind you)100k today its very special(which it is) but we will snub our nose at it and 3/4 of the parts for the motor wiill be discontinued within 10yrs of the last car built. they can build nice cars but treat their customers like s@@t.:mrgreen:

Microsoft only supports OS's back to Win 2000 currently. So yes.

Also, of course it's only a joke, but Microsoft does not make computer hardware, they don't advance computer technology. Rather they make software to work with it (or not).

i know its a joke, i guess if there is a chance i can stick it to gm foe not sticking by our car , well lets say this lutz is the sole reason I will never by another gm car new and the reason i sold my gm stk thankfully 18 months ago. to sell a car for the price they did in 1990-1995 then discont. parts as early as 5 years is a fing crime . gm land of customer screwing :mrgreen:
