Paul from MN said: (quoted from post at 09:40:33 05/14/09) Dave, that is a hoax. Gates never said it, and GM never issued the press release. It has been circulating around on the internet since 1999.
Absolutely true. That it's a hoax, I mean. But is it POSSIBLE that it "really is true?"
Let's think, for a moment about the recent layoffs at "Gates." If GM could have locked up copyrights on autos like Gates did on Microsoft products, do ya thing GM would'ha made a bit more money? You'd have had to buy new tires from GM. oil and antifreeze. It would have been illegal to modify the "software" (engine) so that means than any replacement parts had to come right from GM
Of course GM would STILL be paying out of the claims due to those pesky "blue windshields of death" and the "frozen brake pedal and wheel" complaints

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
