If Microsoft Made Violins
**The Top 10 Ways **
Things would be different
if Microsoft made violins instead of software
1. A vintage 1947 Microsoft Violin(tm) would have actually been made in 1949.
2. Whenever you bought cool new music, you'd also have to buy a new violin.
3. Your new violin would not work with your current bow, rosin and strings. You'd have to buy new ones.
3. Ocassionally, for no reason, your violin would just stop producing sound, and you'd have to pack the fiddle in it's case, and then unpack it again before it would play. For some reason, you just accept this.
4. The above would nearly always happen during an important concert or audition.
5. Only one player would be allowed to play your violin, unless you bought a Violin 98, or a Violin NT, but then you'd have to buy a special set of MSStrings(tm) for each player.
6. Sun Microbasses would make a violin that was lighter, more focused in tone, bigger sounding, and never cracked, but you could only play 5% of the music on it.
7. People would get excited about the "new" features of Microsoft violins, forgetting completely that these features had been available on other violins for years.
8. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Strings(tm).
9. Everytime you made a mistake, your violin would completely stop working. You'd have to touch the bridge, tailpeice and scroll all at the same time to restart the violin, and then close the music and start everything again from the beginning.
