I wouldn't worry too much. The car company was Ford who have just announced a loss for the year of over twelve thousand million dollars. Since Ford of Europe broke even / made a slight profit this has to be primarily the USA where Ford and Microsoft have got into bed together.

Somehow I think that not too many Ford cars will be sold.

Why did Microsoft choose Ford? - perhaps the other car manufacturers didn't want to be associated with Micros***

It will only be as good as the person who operates it.

Look what happened to the woman from my home town, who was told by her Sat Nav to 'turn left', and drive up a railway line in Sussex. !

'Nuff said ??

STOP PRESS !!

A small article in yesterdays Dorking Advertiser informs us that British TRansport Police say that the woman from Dorking who wished to work/drive for BR will definitely NOT be prosecuted !

Hmmmm. Wonder if she hails from Essex.
