Microsoft promptly introduce SP1, which consists of a giant diesel generator in a trailer that plugs into the charging socket of the car. Unfortunately, the car also automatically updates is OS every 3 months, which also requires a new larger generator to drive it. This means that everyone must replace their car every 2 years with a new larger stronger car capable of moving the new generator required to power the newly improved more efficient software and electronics. The resulting piles of old cars that cannot be used produce a new set of environmental nightmares, not to mention supply chain nightmares. And don't even get me started about the new Microsoft SatNav with Mr Clippy, the routing wizard. "Where do you want to go today" my foot.

Granted: Now you're thinking about a Wallace and Gromit and the Doctor story.
I wish I could get James Burke's
