Yeap, it looks like crazy, but the ECUs in F1 cars will be shipped by Microsoft.
PARIS — Dec. 11, 2006 — Microsoft Corp. and McLaren Electronic Systems (MES) today formally announced that they are to be the official suppliers of engine control units (ECUs) to the Fédèration Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Formula One World Championship for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 racing seasons.
Ok, this is not the NT kernel that will ship in the ECUs, and yes, it's probably a marketing operation, but one thing's for sure: slowly but steadily, the market in recognizing Microsoft's ability to ship quality products and services. It's about time. Good for you, Microsoft.
PS: ok, Microsoft still ships lots of crappy products, the question is: who doesn't?...
