The bank sent out this information, it said, because the latest Microsoft browser could be required to ensure compatibility with security certificates, which are required to guarantee the authenticity of a secure Web site. "Later this year FirstDirect will be renewing its own security certificate and if you do not upgrade now it could result in some compatibility issues with our online services," said the bank.

I discourge all company to panrter with M$... that Monopoly son of a bi*** company.
The only way that their software will hurt you is if you're paying too much attention to the software instead of where you're going.
This stuff is pretty cool. Me wants one of them SPOTs.
Woo! Now I can crash my car's software *and* the car itself at the same time.
The Microsoft Speech.NET boys are working hard on productizing the MiPad technology that was demoed in 2001 at CES for the first time. When this comes to pass, the Windows Automotive team will be able to work with car manufacturers to install array mics throughout the inside of a vehicle. Using an array mic setup will help the software cancel out the ambient driving noise and focus on the voice speaking. Accuracy -should- be quite high and allow people to talk to their Car.NET PC.
With luck, come 2010 it won't be unheard of to be in your car and get an alert that there is a backup on the particular freeway you are on. Merging your car's GPS-placed location with, say, a MSN Direct-style service. In the midwest, people may get alerts saying there is a Tornado Warning in your county and offer the quickest route to your home or work.
There is a lot of potential here guys.
I especially like the Tornado .Net Alert idea. It'd be perfect, since I live in Kansas.
