Ah! Good! My non-Microsoft policy whenever possible gets another point! When I was shopping around for a new car I really liked the Fusion, so I went for a test drive and when I saw the "Microsoft Powered" or whatever I told the guy that the test drive was not necessary any longer and left the dealership, and this was in 2010, so arguably the Sync got better.

Unfortunately I did not know when I switched TV/Internet provider that the new one is a Microsoft Powered PVR, and... it sucks... I have a list of 15 issues I want to talk with the provider, but as I spent 3 hours with their help desk for just one... I gave up....
