A new meaning for "crashing Microsoft"

Well that settles the question about the venue for the '08 USGP:

It'll be on Xbox.

 

ok, now cars will need two more radiators to cool CPU.

 

wow that sucks, car could just shut down and we wouldn't know what happened.

 

"Gentelmens - boot your engines"

 

F1 ECU's by MSFT. How depressing is that..................... I thought F1 suppliers were supposed to represent the pinnacles (or at lease close to) of their respective niches?

 

Well.... Budweiser is the pinnacle of beers, no?

 

So will there be enough room on the steering wheel for Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys?

 

Starts car, waits for windows logo...... Da nah

 

Pull left paddle to down shift:

Pop-up: "Are you sure? Y/N"

Pop-up: "A newer version of Micro$oft Shifter is available for download. Press enter to download"

Pop-up: "Please shut down all engine functions to upgrade and hit enter"

Pop-up: "You must reboot to take this action. Press enter to reboot now."

Drivers will be crashing the cars on purpose.

"Where do you want to park today?"

 

So will the race winner be the one with the most blue screen of death's.

 

By the end of the race all spectators in the stands will have their cell phones infected with a virus

 

I bet windows ECU 08 will be way more dependable than windows ECU 09.

 

LMAO

 

None of the cars will finish with that incompetent company making the ecu's. I hope apple has already made them before cause god knows they can't do anything on their own.

 

Is official supplier of Antivirus for MSFT ECU has been selected ?

 

hahahaha - i'll get right on it

 

Maybe this finally means that we are going to get an F1 game on Xbox 360. That would be great.

 

This is the only good thing I could hope to see from this.

 

Isn't that the truth!

 

Sorry to see Microsoft awarded the contract. I hardly think they'll be able to beat Magneti Marelli's record. From 1992 to 2004, cars equipped with Magneti Marelli systems won the constructors' championship a total of 12 times.

Here's the reason behind the successful bid for Microsoft:

McLaren Electronic Systems, an independent developer within McLaren's group of companies, is behind the successful bid with Microsoft to supply ECUs in Formula One from 2008.

So if you can't make your car reliable, you make everyone else's unreliable?

 

Sounds like it! Perhaps yet another attempt to foil Ferrari by eliminating their success with the Magneti Marelli systems?
