Peugeot 907 with Windows Embedded

I just landed on this page, which tells about the new Peugeot 907. I was only going to look at it shortly, but then I saw it runs on Windows Embedded. Not being impressed with anything related to Microsoft, I feared the worst, although I thought they wouldn't write about Windows crashing or something. But the writer does tell about a serious problem: if the engine stops for any reason, you can't start it again immediately, because you have to wait for Windows to boot up! And according to the article this supercar isn't easy to master, so its engine can shut down if you don't handle it well.

I know Microsoft best by their products Visual C++ and Internet Explorer. Visual C++ was lagging behind the standards when free conforming compilers were available for a few years (they finally caught up in 2003). And Internet Explorer still isn't conform to the (not so) new standards for using CSS, while Mozilla and Firefox already are, Mozilla for years.

And those are just the two Microsoft products that I know of. So I'm not likely to buy a car with Windows in it.
