The story goes that at a COMDEX computer expo, Microsoft's Bill Gates compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles per gallon."
General Motors responded to Gates by releasing the statement, "Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?"
In many ways, it doesn't make sense to compare ourselves with others.
