Microsoft to build its products into Ford cars

"LAS VEGAS: Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft, is using the Consumer Electronics Show here to highlight several new consumer-oriented products and to unveil a partnership with Ford Motor to build Microsoft technology into several Ford models."

Brings a whole new meaning to the blue (oval) screen of death

 

Actually this could be what sets Ford apart from the other Big 3 companies. Imagine being able to seamlessly integrate Windows based devices from phones to MP3 players and be able to have an 802.11x based computer in your car. Ford would immediately have something other car companies do not and I would expect the higher end fetures to debut in Lincoln first.

 

i would expect masterful bluetooth integration that results in your car becoming wired.

though i can see the first thing being a zune-capable wireless in-car radio.... which is going to be stupid.
