Cars all have SIMILAR usage mechanisms, similar to how all word processors have a field for you to type in. But that's as close to standardized as you'll get in either field. Cars all look and act and feel different. So will word processors.

Linux's standardization I see as a bad thing. They've copied far too much from Windows. I have Ubuntu running in VM and I dislike that it seems so blandly pasted in.

But I still don't understand what you mean when you say that they'll virtualize across platforms. As I said: there are already Apple-owned systems in place that do this. How would your idea be any different?

Cars behave exactly the same. Gears all work the same, steering wheel, open the engine and you'll know what were belongs pretty easily.

If you can drive one car, you can go into another and you just need to locate things and then you can drive it. Without reading a manual. Don't confuse looks with usage.

If you cannot recognize that basic usability fact, then I don't think I'll be able to convince you of any of the other things I'm saying.
