Microsoft Technology Hits the Road in BMW 7 Series | |
|
||
| Time: 09:50 EST/14:50 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
Microsoft Corp. today announced that the BMW 7 Series, the line of cars introduced last month in the United States, features Microsoft’s robust, real-time embedded operating system, Windows® CE. This announcement comes shortly after Microsoft’s Automotive Business Unit launched Windows CE for Automotive v3.5, the newest version of its telematics software platform based on Windows CE, and announced an end-to-end solution to enable the auto industry to cost-effectively implement and maintain advanced automotive telematics. Siemens VDO Automotive AG, the preferred navigation supplier of BMW, is using the Microsoft® Windows CE operating system in the Control Display, which is part of the innovative BMW iDrive concept. Microsoft’s technology is available to BMW motorists worldwide, delivering an advanced in-car computing experience. | ||

A friend of mine has a Mercedes M-Class with a navigation system. It's not the same as this system, but it's kind of funny.
Occasionally the display will just sit there spinning in circles. Once we were driving down the freeway and it announced 'Please take the next left'... apparently thinking we were on the frontage road. |

Sheesh, MS even had to steal the BMW Marketing Concept from Apple!
