Microsoft da el salto al mundo del automovil, esta vez con los navegadores y el grupo FIAT ha "picado" Microsoft Navigation It may come as a surprise that Microsoft has been heavily involved in car navigation systems for some time now. Despite its incredible performance in the home computer market, though, it has struggled in the automotive business, but it has a plan. Until now, Microsoft has been trying to sell software for expensive navigation systems. Its new ploy is to produce an in-car computer called TBox, running on a dedicated software system called Windows Automotive. TBox can provide directions, make hands-free phone calls and play digital music on customers' mobile phones, iPods or similar devices. It also allows access to telematics services such as remote vehicle diagnostics and electronic yellow pages, which the customer would purchase separately from a service provider. All this for a couple of hundred euros. And that's the key. According to consultancy Forrester Research in Massachusetts, Microsoft "has finally cracked the code with a working device that provides more functionality at a lower cost than anything else available today". If Microsoft follows through, it could become a major player in a business which is forecast to generate annual sales of $6 billion by 2010. And the process has already started - Fiat Auto has already agreed to fit TBox to all 23 of its Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo models.
Windows en un coche? YO NO ME SUBO. A ver si se "cuelga"... o hay que cambiar el espejo retrovisor por ser incompatible con tu móvil, y de paso modificar el chasis.
Conociendo el Windows y lo lento que van los ordenadores con el, seguro que te dice "Gire a la derecha" 20m despues de pasarte la salida
El sistema ha detectado nuevo conductor, espere mientras se instala el software necesario para el conductor.... ... ... No ha podido encontrarse el software necesario, las puertas del coche permaneceran bloqueadas mientras no haya un conductor reconocido .... Puede que esté sufriendo un ataque de seguridad, llenando el habitaculo con gases letales para partir de una instalación limpia... En fin, lo que faltaba
