Microsoft to work with Hyundai, Kia

Microsoft Corp. has recently signed a worldwide deal with automakers Hyundai and Kia, with the aim to see its in-car software used in cars from both manufacturers where voice commands are used to control personal music players as well as telephones. Both Kia and Hyundai have been given the green light to sell cars equipped with Microsoft Auto on a global basis from November this year onwards. Features related to geography and needs will also be tailored, depending on which country the car will be sold. Somehow I’d rather let my vehicle be Windows-free as a Blue Screen of Death is definitely not welcome when I’m in the middle of nowhere.
