I just wonder why a lawnmower, which consists of heavy, moving parts,
mostly metal, and has to be assembled and shipped by large containers,
can cost the same as a copy of Windows. Volume? (Ha ha.)

Of course, the lawnmower actually works properly most of the time.

Of course, if Microsoft made the lawnmower, it would come with a free
rototiller attachment, snow-blower, leaf-blower, chain saw, and
generator. And while you were cutting your grass, the snowblower would
kick in automatically and then it would rototill your driveway. Nobody
would be able to sharpen your blade because all the shops will have
moved to lawnmower 2.0. You would have to buy gas from Microsoft at
$22.00 a gallon. When you start it up, it would ask you, "Cut My Grass?
Yes/Cancel" and then head over to your old house.
