Windows CE i BMW

- Via IT-AVISEN -

Microsoft har indgået en aftale med BMW vedrørende installation af kørecomputer baseret på Windows CE.

Jeg mindes dog en BMW reklame der lød: Our hardware runs better without Windows (BMW Cabriolet). -red.

If Microsoft Made Cars

10. New seats would require everyone to have the same butt size.

9. We would all have to switch to Microsoft Gas.

8. The U.S. government would be forced to rebuild all of the roads for Microsoft cars; they will drive on the old roads, but they run very slowly.

7. The oil, alternator, gas and engine warning lights would be replaced by a single 'General Car Fault' warning light.

6. Apple computers would make a car that was solar-powered, twice as reliable and five times as fast, but would run on only 5% of the roads.

5. You would be constantly pressured to upgrade your car.

4. You could have only one person in the car at a time, unless you bought a Car95 or CarNT -- but then you would have to buy ten more seats and a new engine.

3. Occasionally, your car would die for NO apparent reason and you would have to restart it. Strangely, you would just accept this as normal.

2. Every time the lines of the road were repainted, you would have to buy a new car.

1. People would get excited about the new features of the latest Microsoft cars, forgetting that these same features had been ailable from other car makers for years!

Whiiii! Og der er mere:

11.The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going
off.

12. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea
what happened.

13. They wouldn't build their own engines, but form a cartel
with their engine suppliers. The latest engine would have 16
cylinders, multi-point fuel injection and 4 turbos, but it
would be a side-valve design so you could use Model-T Ford
parts on it.

14. There would be an "Engium Pro" with bigger turbos, but it
would be slower on most existing roads.

15. Microsoft cars would have a special radio/cassette player
which would only be able to listen to Microsoft FM, and play
Microsoft Cassettes. Unless of course, you buy the upgrade
to use existingstuff.

16. Microsoft would do so well, because even though they don't
own any roads, all of the road manufacturers would give away
Microsoft cars free, including IBM!

17. If you still ran old versions of car (ie. CarDOS 6.22/CarWIN
3.11), then you would be called old fashioned, but you would be
able to drive much faster, and on more roads!

18. If you couldn't afford to buy a new car, then you could
just borrow your friends, and then copy it.

19. Whenever you bought a car, you would have to reorganise
the ignition for a few days before it worked.

20. You would need to by an upgrade to run cars on a motorway
next to each other.

Windows CE? Blev det ikke skudt og omdøbt til PocketPC??

Sært at der vælge's WinCE, det er det embeddede OS med suverænt mindste andel af markedet...

Men igen, BMW har før været lidt sære. Jeg ihukommer at de brugte OS/2 i deres biler, for/til hvad kan jeg ikke huske.

WinCE er egentlig et meget passende navn:
Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary of Current English 5th edition har følgende forklaring på side 1366:

Wince:
v ~(at something) to show pain, distress or embarrassment by a slight movement of the muscles in the face: [V, Vpr] "He winced (with pain) as she stood on his injured foot." [Vpr] "I still wince at the memory of the stupid things I did."

men nu har selv BMW fået øjene op for windows pga windows != kun win95/98/me.
