Microsoft revs its automotive engines

After swerving off the road a few times, Microsoft is gearing up for another try at the automotive market. The software maker has persuaded a number of carmakers to use its slimmed-down Windows CE operating system to power a variety of in-car electronics, from navigation systems to music players to information devices. BMW, in particular, has gravitated to Microsoft systems, although the company has announced wins with Honda, Volvo and others as well.
