At a recent computer expo (COMDEX),Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, * *'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.' * *In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: * *If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part ): * *1.
