Have you rebooted your car lately?

Published on March 27, 2003 By Ogre66 In WinCustomize Talk

I'm sure this might be really cool (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techinnovations/2003-03-27-car-windows_x.htm), but I'm not sure I want to reboot my car before starting it up

Reminds me of the old joke about What if you car was built by Mircosoft

Computer "crashes" would suck and probably cause a real crash.

Did any of you actually read and understand the article? It is clear that no one who commented understood what "Microsoft's Windows Automotive 4.2" or what part of the car "telematics" are.

What's funny is I am a computer tech turned bicycle tech and I hate windows but I'm using windows.

I want a computer in my car, but first, I want a car. But obviously, I need a driving licence first. And to do that, I need to be 17 (UK). And I can't be 17 until I've had my birthday. And to have that, I gotta wait until the 19th of April. And I am impatient!!!!

If you're so impatient, move the Canada. You could get your licence right now (16 is the age).
