Next Air Crash Investigation TV episode: "Scratching the Surface" Pilot miraculously saves a plane from crashing using his personal iPad after company deployed Surface computer unexpectedly crashes leaving pilots, crew and passengers stranded.
Another typical IT department decision...they never pick what users want, only what is cheapest or has the best kickback from the vendor. That's why Apple got out of the enterprise space and focused on the consumer space...where the end user determines their product.
Pilot to Tower: "Tower this is Delta flight 237, we're hearing strange sounds in the plane"
Tower to Pilot: "Delta 237, please elaborate"
Pilot to Tower: "It's hard to explain, every once in a while we hear a clickety-clack sound"
Tower to Pilot: "Any other strange phenomena?"
Pilot to Tower: "Apparently some of the passengers are dancing around during this clickety-clack sound. Surely it must be ok?"
Tower to Pilot: "You have serious problems Delta 237! Turn around and land the plane. And whatever you do, do not rely on your instruction manual device!!!! There could be a Surface crash.......and don't call me Shirley"
Don't rule out Tesla. It was not Android in the end. Just Linux.
Correct. It's Mercedes you need to hate on. And Audi. And Hyundai. Well, and Tesla a little bit.
I think you need to pony up some facts. As far as I know there any no shipping ivi systems running Android. Try again? Plenty of aftermarket systems however, especially for the China market where it is the driving part that is the driver distraction and not the ivi system.

Wonder what the kickbacks and bribes were.
Buy one get fifty free!
Ugh!
Guess I won't being buying a Ford (Sync) or a Tesla (Android) or now flying on Delta.
But you will still buy Apple devices built with Samsung parts?

Not risking my life on Blue Screen of Death
That is actually a concern.
"Pull up the manual!!"
"It won't turn on!"
"Reboot it!!!!!"
"I did and now it's all blue!!!!!!"
"May day!!! May day!!!"
Delta ejects 4500 Surface tablets over the ocean from 35,000 feet.

They were told that Ballmer will not be flying with Delta. Deal clinched!

Yep. But not for long, I hope!

Good to know! Thx.
I didn't like Delta before and now I really don't. Not flying with them again. American Airways is the best domestic airline!
I wonder if they paid Delta to take these at no cost? MS might consider that a worthwhile advertising expense.

I think you're right about this.
