Bill Gates vs. GM
 

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?

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:
