Morristown, NJ | Microsoft... ...giving a whole new meaning to the term "car crash".
For my own safety I certainly hope this doesn't tie in to anything critical in the car's control system. Windows + drive by wire = Death. | |

MSFT bashers never cease to amaze me with their insight and wit.  Actually, Acura has had BT in some US models for a couple of years. There was also cooperation between Nokia and European VW Passat and worldwide Range Rover. MSFT was also late to the game in even including a BT stack in Windows. They are not setting a trend. | |

I use it all the time, works fine here. Now my Ubuntu BT stack leaves a little to be desired, like basic file transfer functionality.

I've noticed that it depends on the device... Some of the BT devices I've run across work flawlessly with Windows and others don't work at all... It is hard to tell if it is the device or Windows that is the problem.

1 edit | Just like Vista leaves a little to be desired with its "3D" interface (and I use that term loosely). I mean, Ubuntu 6.10 running AIGLX/Beryl does everything it can... plus another two dozen things it can't that are actually pretty useful. And Vista's not even ready yet!
I still say the whole deal between MS and Novell was so that MS could rip off some XGL features and stick them into Vista at a later point in time. The deal precludes Novell from ever suing Microsoft (and David Reveman, from Novell, was the one who started Compiz) so it makes logical sense to me. Don't be surprised to see a 3D cube feature integrated into Vista sometime within the next year or two.
I love how, on this site at least, anybody who appears to be anti-MS is instantly bashed. Which is ironic, considering it's usually the opposite way around on pretty much any other forum. For all you MS lovers on this site, please explain to me exactly WHAT Microsoft has been so innovative at doing? Who knows -- if you explain it good enough, I might justify shelling out the $200+ for Vista when it goes to retail. But I've already downloaded, installed and run the RTM version and honestly I must say I'm not impressed at all. With the exception of shinier windows and an overly cluttered Control Panel and a slightly revamped Start Menu, I do not see the amount of innovation we all should've expected after having to wait for this OS for FIVE YEARS. | |

I run Ubuntu 6.10 w/ Beryl/XGL and oddly enough, I like the Aero Glass theme the most.
Does that make me evil, or just confused?

You may bash the M$ bashers all you want but if you have to pull over to reboot your car 7 times a day(even once) you may change your tone. Ha

| Re: Microsoft... said by insomniac84 :Because the current software in cars that no one knows anything about is better? Yes. There are tons of documented RTOS products out there for just such things. Somehow tweaking windows into some kind of quasi-embedded product is just a wee bit silly. The track record of their products (not the popularity, the quality) really speaks for itself. | |
