    Found out about Ford's second-gen SYNC system off to a buggy start *UPDATE — Autoblog thanks to DailyTech - UPDATED: Second-Gen Ford Sync Suffering From Forced Reboots.
    I also didn't know about the auto-reboot every 24 hours of uptime...

    I don't have the 2nd gen in the Fiesta but I really like Sync. It is better than the non-nav. bluetooth in the Prius and I love the audio capabilities. Friday I ripped 46 CDs to a USB stick and we now have a plethora of music available. There is also a hidden 2nd USB port and I am going to put a 16gb stick in the glovebox so I will basically have close to 200cds available in the car at all times.

    I am not a huge fan of Sync woman and having to argue with her about voice commands (seems the Prius is a touch better in this category but with the basic commands I have never had a problem, its just getting her to recognize band names that you run into issues).

    But yeah...having a microsoft product in the car is kind of scary.
