Old news, but still scarey.
Windows [n.]
A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.

[dig]Just remember to use the Start button to turn it off.[/dig]

Seriously, show of hands, how many people would put their MP3s on a slightly modifed flash drive?
Now, of those, how many would trust Windows Automotive to not delete them because of some "DRM" bullshit?

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

I sense the imminent rise in prices of "vintage" autos.  :D

Windows Automotive cannot verify your serial number. Windows attempted to contact Microsoft electronically to activate your copy of Windows, but failed. Please contact Microsoft for an activation code.

Your vehicle will function in Limited Functionality Mode until you supply a valid activation code. Directional control, air conditioning, Windows, and doors will be non-functional until Windows has been activated. Also, your speed has been locked in at 50 miles per hour, and will remain at that speed until the vehicle runs out of fuel or is stopped by other means.

We hope that you are not inconvenienced, and hope that in the next life, you'll use only Genuine Verified Windows
