MS-DOS:  You get in the car and try to remember where you put your keys.

Windows:  You get in the car and drive to the store very slowly, because
attached to the back of the car is a freight train.

Macintosh System 7:  You get in the car to go to the store, and the car
drives you to church.

UNIX:  You get in the car and type GREP STORE.  After reaching speeds of
200 miles per hour en route, you arrive at the barber shop.

Windows NT:  You get in the car and write a letter that says, "go to the
store."  Then you get out of the car and mail the letter to your
dashboard.

Taligent/Pink:  You walk to the store with Ricardo Montalban, who tells
you how wonderful it will be when he can fly you to the store in his
Learjet.

OS/2:  After fueling up with 6000 gallons of gas, you get in the car and
drive to the store with a motorcycle escort and a marching band in
procession. Halfway there, the car blows up, killing everybody in town.

S/36 SSP [mainframe, obv.]:  You get in the car and drive to the store.
Halfway there you run out of gas. While walking the rest of the way, you
are run over by kids on mopeds.

OS/400:  An attendant locks you into the car and then drives you to the
store, where you get to watch everybody else buy filet mignons.
