Don't know if I'd ever be nerdy enough to put a full pc in my car, but if I did I would want it to be like this....

Nerdy

But extremely cool

And I bet it doesn't switch off when you start moving!

Quite a few guys in the US have done Linux installs, none as slick looking as that though. Saying that I wouldn't want MS Windows anywhere near my motor!

For the last 2.5 years, my P1 has had an empeg audio system running Linux with twin 30Gb hard drives.
Currently 5,500 tracks & only half full...

Oh, and yes I am that nerdy

Three engineers are riding down the road in a car. Suddenly, the car begins to develop trouble. It's sputtering and it sounds like it's going to stall.

The first engineer is a chemical engineer. He says, "It could be something in the fuel line. Lets put an additive into the gas and maybe that will take care of the problem."

The second engineer is an electrical engineer. She says, "It could be something in the electrical system. Let's replace the wires and the distributor cap. Maybe that will take care of the problem."

The third engineer is a software engineer from Microsoft. He says, "It could be that we've too many windows open. Let's close all the windows, turn off the car, then restart the car and open all the windows again. Maybe that will take care of the problem."

That'd be about right then!

Might validate your car insurance, Windows is sometimes prone to crashing... and it would be a 3rd party add-on so if you hadn't decalred it...

Don't buy a BMW with iDrive, then. It's WindowsCE based.
