Ford sync up with Microsoft
WSJ is reporting that Ford plans to unveil a deal with Microsoft that will put some MS technology in Ford cars.
This is great. I have been wanting a car that will crash itself.
Updated:
Sync will be available on all Ford models starting in 2008 and will be phased in to Lincoln and Mercury models later.

It's absolutely true that people accept that PC's occasionally crash. Rarely do they realise that other platforms just don't have these issues.

After they are through crashing Ford perhaps Microsoft will take aim at the boating industry with Sync. Entirely appropriate I would think.
