Heres' something ....

MicroSoft will develope robots with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason at all, your robot would shut down twice a day.

2. Every time you repainted the walls in your house, or installed new plumbing or installed new carpet, you would have to call Microsoft to get a new activation number for your robot.

3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a turning a corner would cause your robot to shut down and refuse to restart, and you would have to reinstall the motor.

4. When your robot shuts down for no reason, you would just accept this, restart it and continue on.

5. The robot could only obey one person at a time unless you bought 'Robot Server', and then added more user license.

6. Apple would make a robot powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to use , but would work in only five per cent of the households.

7. battery, hydraulics and system warning lights would be replaced by a single 'general error default' warning light.

8. New models would force everyone to have the same size rooms.

9. When given a command , the robot would say 'Are you sure?' before doing it.

10. Occasionally, for no reason, your robot would lock out your comamnds out and refuse to let you command it, until you simultaneously lifted it's leg, turned it's head, and kissed it's ass.

11. MS would require all robot buyers to also purchase a deluxe subscription to MicroSoft LIVE , even though they neither need it nor want it. Trying to delete this option would immediately cause the robot's performance to diminish by 50 per cent or more. Moreover, MS would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.

12. Every time MS introduced a new model, buyers would have to learn how to command it all over again because none of the commands would the same as in the old robot.

13. You would press the 'start' button to shut off the robot.
