Well, I'm just guessing but if you read Ford's press releases from 2010 / 2011 they indicate that the system was going to have a web browser built in. So I guess their hardware engineers went ahead and built in the support but they probably couldn't work out a deal with Microsoft or decided that web browsing while cruising down the road wasn't such a good idea (more likely the former). Ten years ago it was 'we have more cup holders than the other guy" now it seems to be "we have more useless software than the other guy".
