Ya! Just for giggles, several years ago I wrote to Gates suggesting
that it
was the perfect time for Microsoft to get into the car business. He could
do the Microsoft thing and the Intel thing all in one shot.
I suggested that he devise an operating system for electric cars and
come up
with a data bus (like the PCI in PCs), power bus, and operating system.
But
he passed. Passing on ideas like this, he's never gonna make it business
