neo_x500:
I have an interesting dream for the future, how about making all operating systems free. Yeah, PC manufactuar should inlcude it for free with the PC. No more os markets, no more windows. Of course they are not going to willingly give up their Software like that, that's why we have Linux, right?? Anyway, this is off topic, so back to the point, could this just be another MS scam, to get people to not buy other computers and go for XP instead. They have done that in the past, said they were goig to release something, and not released it. Maybe this is all more FUD.

slave:

HPC GUY:

If Microsoft Built Cars

* A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until AFTER that year.
* Every time the lines were repainted on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
*Occasionally your car would just die for no reason. You would just restart it. You would just accept this as normal.
* Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail to restart and you'd have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this, too.
* You could only have one person at a time in your car, unless you bought a Car95 or a CarNT, and then you would have to buy more seats.
* New seats will force everyone to have the same sized butts.
* You would constantly have to upgrade your car.
* The oil, generator, gas and engine warning lights would be replaced by a "General Car Fault" warning light.
* People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft Cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other brands for years.
* We would still be waiting for the "6000 SUX 58" model to come out.
* We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas
