Interesting you mentioned Ford, Ruben.
Because Ford happens to be enslaved to Microsoft right now. Ford hired
Microsoft to do some of their internal dealer systems, and now lo, and
behold, Ford's hitched their own wagon and the wagon of every Ford,
Lincoln, Mercury, Volvo, Mazda, Aston-Martin, and Land Rover dealership
in the world to Microsoft's tainted star.
For no good reason whatsoever, they have Web sites they have to use that
are dependent on ActiveX controls and Microsoft Passport, rendering them
inoperative except in the IE browser.
Most dealerships have no other reason to have to use Windows.
