That's wonderful!
Went for a flight a few years ago that was delayed... apparently one
of the three computers on the plane did not agree with the other two.
A whole lotta putzing by the ground crew, and finally the flight crew
announced they'd have to shut down the power on the plane.
They had to reboot it!
I had a mental image of a computer screen in the cockpit with the
FATAL ERROR message...

my wifes chevy cobalt has multiple computers that somehow crashed
repeatedly, error code said lost communication, after multiple
failures where the car would just quit or not start they appeared to
fix it....

on like the 12th visit to the dealership, 4 or 5 were tow ins.

GM and the dealership were unwilling to just replace computers till i
asked you want it back as a lemon??

other than this the car has been nice, but the dealers unwilling to
replace parts made me really $%%^^&&*(

You forgot to include problems with product activation and false "...
Genuine Advantage" notices.

Also, it will be several minutes between entering the car and the engine
starting (while the OS loads).

I just saw a tv commercial where they state that the car is controlled
by a Microsoft system. Now that's one scarey thought. Just think
about it. You're driving down the road in your VISTA Cruiser, when
suddenly your car crashes for no reason. Or what about the Blue
Screen of Death. Suddenly your windshield turns blue. You can not
see the road or anything outside. Your dashboard flashes a large text
message reading "FATAL ERROR". Then your brakes and engine lock up at
the same time, hurling your body thru glass and metal, and to your
death.

Then, maybe you're lucky and dont actually have a FATAL ERROR.
Instead you get in your car and turn the key. You're late for work
and rushing. Your car says "Do you want to start your car". You hit
the enter key. It then asks "Are you sure you want to start your
car?". You hit enter. Yet another message pops up, and asks "Are you
really sure?"...... And dont forget, when it comes time to turn your
car off, you will have to go thru the same routine again.

The part that I find most frightening are the questions asked when you
apply the brakes. You step on the brake pedal and a voice from the
dashboard says "Do you want to stop?" You have to hit the enter key
before the car begins to stop. Then another message asks "Are you
sure you want to stop?", and finally another question asks "Are you
absolutely sure?" By this time you have smashed into several other
cars, rolled your car across the divider strip, and in the opposite
lane, you can see several cars approaching at 85mph, head on, while
your car is flipped on it's roof, and your car keeps asking "are you
sure you want to un-click your seatbelt?"..... "Are you absolutely
sure????"...... Please insert CD into drive press enter, and type
your full 38 digit registration code and your personal password to
un-click your seatbelt....... "Dont forget to remove your keys from
the ignition and turn off the heater, radio and roll up the WINDOWS
using both the XP and the VISTA buttons.

I understand that if you have a problem, most of the time it can be
fixed by removing and reinstalling the windows.

Frequently, you can just close all the windows, get out, get back in, and
re-open the windows.

Are you talking about the "Sync" system Ford is offering as an option?
This doesn't actually control your car, just the audio system. See

That reminds me of a little story I found somewhere, where a bunch of
people were invited to try out a new teleportation system. They were
dematerialized. Then, unfortunately, we discover this equipment uses
Windows XP.

Windows XP is something like Bill Clinton. Bad in its time but doesn't
look so bad now.

And you get a car with no starter, and the engine will self-destruct
if you try to add one. You have to contact MS every time you want to
start the car. They try to hide this fact by making the process
automatic, but you still have a weakness in the car, and are
continually dependant on MS.
