Will cars run Windows, requiring you to click the Start button to turn off the engine when done driving? No, not yet. Microsoft has just teamed up with Ford Motor to add a system that lets the driver control mobile phones and music players by voice commands or buttons on the steering wheel.
The system is called Sync and utilizes Bluetooth to connect to mobile phones. It will also provide a USB port as a charging option and also for wired connections.
Sync is expected to be available starting with the Ford Focus compact car in the new year. According to the deal, the technology will be exclusive to Ford cars till the end of 2008.
