Last I heard, Windows CE was still a Microsoft product.
Read the quote again: "The iDrive is powered in part ..."
Get it? Windows CE isn't the only software involved here.
Sounds like a multitude of (unresolved) problems to me.
The article doesn't say whether software was involved in the failures. You simply jumped to that conclusion because you want it to be true.
I've noticed a trend on this site where Microsoft zealots ...
First, I'm not a zealot. I use most popular operating systems, and I don't care for ideology with regard to technology, one way or another.
...just can't stand it when someone points out well-documented facts about Microsoft applications and/or operating systems...
You haven't pointed out a single "well-documented fact". You're trying to sell innuendo as fact. As I pointed out, the article doesn't identify the Microsoft software as the source of the problem. Sadly, you and other ass-clowns don't seem to realize that the iDrive system is comprised of hundreds of integrated components from multiple manufacturers. It's an integrators nightmare, and simply calling out the Microsoft software as the single point of failure is zealotry at its worst.
