Seeing that this report is 3 years old and I didn't hear about it yet, it shows how much I pay attention to the junk that has been put out lately...Considering idrive can automatically control the ebrake when you turn the car off, I can only hope one of these doesn't park in front or behind me on any slope.

Windows CE is OS of choice for BMW

Microsoft has announced that the BMW 7 Series features its real-time embedded operating system, Windows CE. This comes shortly after Microsoft's Automotive Business Unit launched Windows CE for Automotive v3.5. This latest telematics software version based on Windows CE is an open platform that allows developers to create powerful in-car computing systems. It offers flexibility and choice of hardware platforms, peripherals and software components, as well as being able to take advantage of the growing community of experienced CE developers.

Siemens VDO Automotive AG, BMW's preferred navigation supplier used CE in the Control Display, part of the BMW's iDrive concept which gives easy operation and access to in-car features including the navigation, telephone, climate control and entertainment systems."
