Ford and Microsoft – A match made in heaven?


In a link up of two of the most famous companies and brands in the world, Ford and Microsoft have unveiled a specialised in-car operating system that will soon be installed in US Ford cars.


The OS will allow voice-controlled navigation of your I.C.E. (in car entertainment for those over 25!) so you can shout out what you need or want. Should be cool if they can pull it off but what happens if you are singing along with a song – beep – next message – damn, I was enjoying that one! It's about time that in-car pc's came as standard. They could link with your home network when you park in your driveway to enable wireless transfer of music, maps, downloads etc. - the possibilities are endless and no doubt why Microsoft are getting involved.
