Alright, But Where Is The OK Button?
http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2006/08/26/724967.aspx
Jason Langridge has posted a shot of a Fiat steering wheel in a car model that has been fitted with Windows from the Windows Automotive group.
I just hope it isn't a 7 click process to close an application!  :lol:

Re: Alright, But Where Is The OK Button?
I have Blue&Me in my new FIAT Grande Punto Sporting. It one of the best and cheapest integrated Bluetooth kit. Works like a charm with my i-mate JAMin. Its voice recognation is top notch. Once you paired your phone, B&Me copies your contacts, and you can either use the vioce activation, or the buttons on the wheel. By the way, there are 4 other buttons on the other side of the wheel: Up, Down, Call, OK. And now it has an SMS reader software available as well.

I'm almost afraid to ask - what's Ctrl+Alt+Del? The Windows and Mute buttons, plus the horn? :P

Probably used to forcefully terminate all car processes should the car fail to shut off ignition at your command... :wink:
Seriously though, the fact people are going to be pressing the Start button during driving is bothering me a little. 8O
