Economies in interior design are based upon uniform size. Seats are all the same size and a standard distance from the steering wheel<br><br>2. The cars will run only on Microsoft petrol. (Microsoft LP Gas will be announced soon.)<br><br>3. The oil, alternator, low-fuel, and engine management system warning lights will be replaced by a single "General Car Protection Fault" warning light.<br><br>4. Delivery strategy is such that the consumer is under constant pressure to upgrade (modestly priced "upgrade" kits will be available either dealer-fitted or self-install). Support for self-install is an extra cost option. The cost is based upon the number of calls and the number of callers.<br><br>5. You can have only one person in the car at a time, unless you buy CarXP or CarVista, but having bought one of these, you still need to purchase more seats.<br><br>6. Occasionally, for no reason at all, the car will die for no apparent reason, and restarting is a simple turn of the key ... strangely, this is accepted as normal.<br><br>7. Every time the lines on your normal road are repainted, you must buy a new MS Car.<br><br>8. People would get excited about the new features of the Microsoft car, forgetting that the same features have been available from other car makers for years.<br><br>And not to forget:<br><br>9. Sun MicroSystems will make a car that is solar-powered, twice as reliable, and five times as fast, but will run on only 5 percent of currently constructed roads.<br><br>  Source GCFL.net]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Avinash machado]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 28th 2008 5:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft heading to NASCAR]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/27/microsoft-heading-to-nascar/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/27/microsoft-heading-to-nascar/</guid><description><![CDATA[Considering Microsoft developed Sync for Ford it's kinda like a slap in the face to Ford.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ray]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2008 6:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft heading to NASCAR]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/27/microsoft-heading-to-nascar/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/27/microsoft-heading-to-nascar/</guid><description><![CDATA[It sucks that teams that can barely qualify for races (Schrader drove only 2 races this season) have sponsors like Microsoft, but guys like Gilliland and Kvapil who drive every weekend (and each has 1 Top 10 this season) can't find sponsors at all. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Red Star]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2008 6:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft heading to NASCAR]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/27/microsoft-heading-to-nascar/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/27/microsoft-heading-to-nascar/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why does it have avenger headlights if it is a camry?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[john]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2008 6:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft heading to NASCAR]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/27/microsoft-heading-to-nascar/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/27/microsoft-heading-to-nascar/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hahah, they used a Dodge Nascar Car and just changed the grill.
