not a problem as it also comes with 12 good tyres, and is diesel fueled
(and also runs on used cooking oil) the starter works off compressed
air.

the flat tyres are clearly labeled "experimental" or "incomplete."

At least with Linux, there are hundreds of 'taxis' and each offers its own
level of service. Full service Linux distros include: Red Hat, Novell,
Xandros and Linspire....all nicely certified, licensed, supported....and
loads cheaper than the MS cab.

There is only one MS cab....and it only goes to one destination. Like it or
not and the fare is $600 per passenger.....and watch out for the people who
jump in at intersections and tell the driver to go somewhere else....while
YOU pay for it.

You got it all wrong.
The MS cab will run on any fuel made by any non MS company. Parts aren't a
problem as parts from any non MS company will fit it.
It starts first time every time, and program that does cause an error can be
shut down without tipping out the apples from the cart.
MS cabs are used by the majority of the people on the planet. Linux Limos
are used by very few people who simply want to do things the hard way and
differently.

Well, actually, the Linux Limo turns out to be pretty close to the
latest Lexus, confortable, quiet, safe, beautifully designed and
unobtrusive.

It uses less gas, handles perfectly and complies with all regulations.

And the service is free, and as easy as asking on the Internet.

Looks like a good choice to me.
