I'm all for this Bakunin, and here's why...

Brings new meaning to all the old error messages:

Blue Screen Of Death, with a real death.

No driver found, because he went through the windshield.

Buffer overflow, airbag deployed.

Illegal operation, bad driving/ no tax disc.

Windows has stopped responding, out of petrol.

Windows must update, please restart, please pull over to the hard shoulder for your engine to die.

Windows error reporting console, reporting error.

Please do not use the vehicle while Windows spends 10 minutes sending this error report.

Restart should be easy

No doubt restarting your Windows-based Sync system will follow the time honoured Microsoft tradition - hold the gearstick in neutral, and open the driver and passenger doors simultaneously while pressing the brake pedal.
