The Microsoft booth at the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) showcased a gas pump with integrated Windows CE system, the Ovation(R) iX Dispenser. So very soon you'll be able to check your e-mail, download some new mp3's or check the traffic reports while waiting for your car to fill up.
Now we only worry about the gasprice while riding over to the gasstation, very soon the biggest concern will be: 'Will the gaspump be working or will it show a BSOD'...

Hehe, that's for sure. Microsoft wants to ruin our lives. First we have mobile phones with their os now this!

The only bad thing is that this time they are very dangerous.

I can imagine the news saying :

"Gas stations with sp 1 should update because they can be exploded......"
