How do you think Ford will fare with Microsoft SYNC, do you feel their sales will improve for both companies. Is this for the next generation automobile owner that also own a ZUNE?

Actually some other car companies as well use Microsoft software and other proprietary in their in-car naviagation and audio control systems. The difference is Ford is the first company (at least as far as I know) to use the Microsoft branding in their cars and advertise it. I think its a great relationship for both comapnies, and great for cross brand promotions.
Will it sell more cars for Ford? I am not sure of that, I would think it would take more than a Microsoft AutoPC to make someone choose one car brand over another. If someone is sitting on the fence, it may help thme make a decision however.
