After Ratings Drop, Ford Reworks Touch Screens

There's at least 2 problems here:

1) engineering 2) quality control

How Ford engineering could make a system that reboots while driving and how quality control testing could not detect it is alarming. I smell the accounting department: "If we go with Microsoft, we'll be safe". When I think "embedded system", I don't think "Microsoft". When I do think of "Microsoft", I think "sluggish user experience and eventual system lockup". (admittedly I don't have to reboot as often with Windows as back in the Windows 98 days).
