If this is how Ford expects to avoid a total collapse they are quite mistaken, LOL. I just can see drivers on the highway having to reboot their electronics :-))

With decisions like this, do we really have to wonder why Ford's corporate bonds are rated "junk" and the company is on the verge of bankruptcy? :-)

It's no joke. On one flight it took about 30m to get the entertainment system up and running - it was using M$ malware and kept crashing. Once started it had to be rebooted another 2 times on this 12h flight. I hope no critical aircraft subsystems run on that garbage.
