    A title means you own the car and the registration means it's registered for driving in the state.

    You don't need a registration to ship a vehicle you own out of state and registration is never required to have a title signed over to you. I've never heard anyone say "Before I can sell you this car and sign the title over I need you to go register the car!" Usually you need the title in your name (proof of ownership) before the DMV will let you register it in your name.

    Title implies ownership. If you're listed on the title as an owner, you have all legal rights to the vehicle. This does NOT imply the right to drive the vehicle on roads, just that you own the property and can sell it, modify it, give it away, whatever.

    Registration means the vehicle has been registered with the state and you have the right to drive it (as long as all other requirements like driver licensing and insurance are met). When you register the vehicle, you usually get a license plate and a sticker to put on it, which allows the vehicle to be identified and for police to know the registration is current.

    You can own vehicles without registering them for driving on the streets. In this case, you could buy the vehicle and have the title signed over to you and then have it put on a truck and shipped back to michigan. The DMV in michigan will be able to take your out of state title and convert it into a Michigan title. Once that's done, you can register the vehicle and drive it.

    In the US, all of this varies from state to state, as driving and automobiles aren't under federal powers. However, they all work similarly.

    Does this make anyone feel bad for Steve Ballmer?

    The whole time I've assumed he was the reason Microsoft seemed to be run by idiots.

    But with this and their other recent moves, Microsoft seems to be run by a gaggle of idiots. A flock even.
