If Windows were the road, MSFT would dictate what car you could buy to drive on it. If Windows were the car (which it soon would be if Windows had previously been the road), MSFT would try to dictate what packages you could buy and carry in the trunk. Next they would rule on what family members you could let ride with you, after paying the per-seat licensing for the 'extra' seats in the car. Cars with extra seats would be known as Windows NT.

Is this the best you can do? Talk about lame-o analogy. Windows is the road for most home and small business PC users. MSFT doesn't make the cars. Dell, CPQ, IBM, etc., make the cars. AAPL made a road but only allowed their own cars to drive on it. Not too smart.

Besides, if you don't like the road, take the train or fly a plane. <g>
