thats kinda cool

unfortunately it's running a MS OS so it may need to reboot your car if someone gets in with a bluetooth headset or something

The Ford Broken?

Must admit I'm not overly keen on anything from Microsoft in a car. Not sure which would crash first. Blue screens could be interesting...

Well MS Windows Mobile doesn't crash, it just keeps running out of memory and that's just on a mobile phone

Seems like MS programs are designed to fail just so that people will buy the upgrade ?

May make good short term business sense but sooner later people will get nissed off - I won't be getting another MS based mobile phone !
