Anti-crash software....(hmmm, sounds ominously familiar). The trial litigation and class action suit lawyers are already licking their lips. I can see it now.....a car crashes and the software company gets sued, or the software overrides a driver "attempting" to avoid an accident and causes severe emotional stress, and then there is the European insistence that MSFT must have a limited version so that 3rd party software companies can install their version, oh, and let's not forget the "open source" Linux versions.... What's next? Maybe the major airlines cut costs by totally eliminating pilots in the cockpit, allowing the software to totally fly the plane....thanks but I think I'll walk! BB
