I don’t need coffe, but I’ll take the version that gives the driver a “happy ending”.

Bloody Americans and their techno crap. Why can’t they let the car do what it is built to do, that is drive. Microsoft should not be downloading, spreadsheeting, word processing, viral marketing, anti-virusing and system crashing when you pick your kids up from school or take a drive. Driving is a haven from marketing crap. Why put it inside the car? Well in this case, Ford is using the system. It might be the only thing useful in their car.

Thing is when the system crashes or freezes you will probably have to have your foot on the accelerator, one hand on the handbrake and one on the Front Left passenger door handle with either the boot up or the wipers going etc
[similar to Ctrl Alt Del] inorder to get your car started again

I know what you mean about Foxtel Glen. It used to have the occasional ad for one of its own shows, but thats all changed now
