Ford to Drop Microsoft for Future Sync Systems
Looks like Ford is looking to go over to a QNX-based system for SYNC in the future.

The most disturbing statement in those articles is:
" In-vehicle technology is the top selling point for 39 percent of auto buyers, more than twice the 14 percent who say their first consideration is traditional performance measures such as power and speed, according to a study by the consulting firm Accenture released in December."
And just take a guess as to which demographic is most responsible for driving this agenda. Yep.
Oh. My. God.
