Keep in mind: Yeah, that's what they say today. But who is to say they will keep their mitts off in the future?

Microsoft doesn't tolerate rivals. If the only market for non-MS operating systems is automotive systems, the best we can hope for is that the price goes way up. More likely, the suppliers just drop out of the business (several have already) and then MS is the only game in town.; Posted by: Yagotta B.
