You know absolutely nothing about cars. Making the comparison between Microsoft Windows to a Yugo couldn't be more incorrect.

Yugo's were the safest cars ever to be on the road. They had a near zero crash/fatality rate. They also got great gas mileage (hundreds of miles per gallon.)

You know why? Because Yugo's spent more time on the back of a tow truck than actually driving down the road.

Now, if you want to compare Microsoft Windows to a Car, anyone who knows cars (like I do ...) would tell you that Windows is like a 1970's era Ford Pinto.

That's right. A Ford Pinto. Pinto's blew up, Microsoft Windows "blows up." WTH do you think a BSOD is? The OS going KABOOM! Just like a Ford Pinto (when it was rear-ended of course.)

Memory Collision = BSOD. Rear End Collision = Blowing Up Ford Pinto.

Same thing.

Now back to CARS-101 for you! (/humor)

I don't recall Yugos ever selling over 200 million copies.

Perhaps you meant, Macs instead of Yugos.
