All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
Get ready for shitty cars everywhere
rklesla:
I hate computers in cars. Cars are pieces of machinery that computers should not take part in, especially from a software company that has been making OS's for 22yrs now and has yet to make a good product. Except maybe microsoft fax. Always thought that program was pretty good, simply, and non-complex...

Oh, you're perfectly right. I mean, it's SO much easier to create proper ignition timing using magical mechanics.
rklesla:
Timing wasn't hard to begin with. Plus cars were alot easier to fix and they didn't record everything you do in the car.
TheQuirk:
No, that's not true. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/ignition-system4.htm
Older systems used an extra part, the section that "does the job of breaking the current to the coil", and you can bet your hat it caused you to work on your car more frequently.
You don't seem to realize something: mechanics are never "perfect." They always get screwed up in one way or another over time. Electronics minimizes this.

as I believe I've said before,
some of you guys...
1) need to learn about cars
2) blow things way outta proportion
"Microsoft gas"? that's about the STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD.
I have an idea if you don't have anything intelligent to say about MS, don't say it. I'm sick of the same 5 shitty jokes over and over.
I had a windows box running right beside my Macs for months. where are all these BSODs you guys talk about? where are the problems? WHERE ARE THEY?!?!
Where were the virii, where were the worms, where were these things that ALWAYS HAPPEN to Windows?
I'll tell you where they were...
IN YOUR HEAD.
In the even that nobody's noticed, Windows 98 isn't current anymore. We aren't living in the 1990s, the Decade of Mediocrity is over now. We're now in the 2000s, it's now the Decade of Marginal Quality.
Things are improving, and improving, and improving... everything from everybody is better than ever.
I don't think I've seen MS act a fool since the start of the anti-trust trials. They're certainly not doing anything I wouldn't do. I know Red Hat, Inc would do those things if they could, as would Apple.
You know it's true and you know I'm right, just as I always am.
