Ford/Microsoft Explorer

I think I know why the Explorer has so many weird little quirks in its behaviour that shouldn't happen. Do you think Bill Gates collaborated with Ford in its design? It would certainly explain a few things. What do you think?

Where do you think they get computers from? Microsoft is an integral part of their computer design division. Just imagine getting the blue screen of death on your navigation display, or getting a code 404...this vehicle cannot be found.

it is not hard to make a computer or program an operating system.

i would bet that microsoft does not make the computers in ford vehicles.
