Microsoft to Offer Windows CE-Based Infotainment for Cars


Master of "bundling", Microsoft will soon offer its navigation system with an in-car computer interface dubbed TBox, which will support a dedicated operating system called Windows Automotive. Currently version 4.2 has been introduced, and has gone out to sub-developers to build supporting software that is compatible.
According to Microsoft's Windows Automotive website, "The release of Windows Automotive version 4.2 marks the

introduction of the first Microsoft .NET-connected, voice-enabled software for building next-generation in-vehicle devices. Windows Automotive 4.2, built on the Windows CE operating system, is the first Microsoft telematics software platform to include the .NET Compact Framework. This technology will enable the industry to give drivers and passengers seamless access to a wide range of Web services as well as smooth functionality among all Windows powered devices."

If this gets implemented, I see a potential for people to hack such systems so that they could load up and play their MP3 collections, run CE games, and load DVD movies. And you thought Cellphones were dangerous....
Any comments?
