Germans are not known for their proficiency with electronics.
They build good engines. Not good computers. These new cars are basically computers on wheels. |
Due to the amount of programming and electronics in these new cars, its very hard to let it go on the market without any bugs and errors. The most common operating systems in the world (windows), have the same problems.

I like OS X, it's pretty reliable, but not better than XP. On my firm we have a couple of IBM ThinkPads an a couple of PoweBook G4s. I will stick with my XP computer util that day there is ONE thing you can do with your Mac wich you can't with your XP machine... ooooh no I didn't want to go here... :o Idrive is running Windows CE as the OS system? :wow: |
