Microsoft, Fiat in
Microsoft and Fiat will join to put the software giant's technology in all Fiat cars in coming years, the companies said this week. The Fiat Group cars will run Windows Automotive software, which will eventually control the onboard information and communications systems, including voice-recognition and global-positioning technology, for the company's cars. Standardization across the Fiat lineup will reduce the cost of the system, which won't have a video display but will have a USB port that will enable users to plug in their audio players (presumably, made by Microsoft) and play their own music in vehicles. Launching next year, the plan is for the system to appear on all Fiats, Lancias, and Alfa Romeos for an undisclosed price in the next few years.

It would make 2004 the fourth-best annual new vehicle sales total in automotive retailing history.
