I used to love Ford, I have owned several Mustangs. Due to a recent debacle with their service department, I will not purchase another Ford again. Yep, I am pretty stubborn when a company wrongs me. Enough about me, let’s talk about Ford and Microsoft.  

The Wall Street Journal reports that Ford and Microsoft have decided to sync. At the Detroit Auto Show and the Consumer Electronics Show in January, the two firms will jointly announce Sync, an in-car navigation and infotainment system built on Microsoft’s platform.

Sync is designed to let drivers navigate better, download and listen to music, talk by cell phone, and even get e-mail without using their hands, according to reports. Powered by Bluetooth — the same technology that powers wireless cell phone headsets — Sync will debut in two Ford models, the Focus and Five Hundred series, in 2007, then expand to all Ford models in the 2008 model year.
