You do realize chains of today are a bit different than chains from back in the day. Someone realized the very situation you have described and made something that works for that.

Hey...it's not your fault tenpin...you're just the messenger. Being an IT specialist and seeing all the issues Microsoft stuff has...it's hard to believe that it would be any different with their auto-based software.
Is there anyone in this forum that has dealt with the Sync system in Ford vehicles? How is it?

I know the feeling. I work in IT at a university and support the labs, help desk, and dorm network, and let me just say that Windows 7 better be much better than Vista or I just might have to strangle someone!

Yes, I too am apprehensively anxious about Windows 7. At home I've gotta desktop running XP and a laptop running Vista. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to chuck that laptop out the window. However, it's the wife's so I have to hold back. 
With iPod being the man music/video source a lot of folks have these days, I'm surprised that Hyundai didn't commission Apple to create a system for their vehicles. It seems they like to be different than everyone else to begin with. Apple stuff is so much more robust and dependable than that windows based stuff.
I would have thought that this would have opened the door right here...

I know the feeling. A desktop at home has XP Pro and my laptop runs Vista and has come close to being thrown out a few times. My wife complained the the desktop was too slow so she decided we could get a new computer to replace it--a brand spanking new 24" iMac! Very nice! That's her computer for now--maybe I'll get lucky and get a Mac Book for Xmas. That and Parallels and I am good to go with whatever OS I need then.

Here at my job, we are running XP and some folks have Mac notebooks, but they are looking at running a dual system (network), but of course...there's a lot of security policies and issues that have to be looked at.
Currently, there are a few test computers actually running dual environments here, but it's a limited situation.
I am seriously considering upgrading to Mac when I get rid of my home stuff.

WOW comparing a Taurus with a Genesis? I drove a new Taurus and wasn't impressed at all. I will say it is much nice than the 2002 Taurus that my son has but thats about as far as I can go........well its really not a bad looking car either. But IMO across the board the Genesis is just a much nicer car.

Miklo...that's the point I was making. The Taurus is a much better Taurus than has ever been built to date, but to compare it to the Genesis...it's going to fall short. I mean, yes...there will be features you can get on it that the Genesis doesn't have, but...the car will feel sluggish simply because you're asking the engine to pull over 4000 lbs of car. At least with the SHO, you get 365 ponies under the hood, but that would still fall short against the Genesis 4.6 which is like 500 lbs lighter than the SHO. If you're a Taurus fan, you'll love the new one. In my opinion, it's one of the best looking American options on the market (until the 2010 LaCrosse hits the scene).
