CanBus?

"...in January Microsoft announced a deal with Ford to supply Microsoft Auto for some of its models."

I wonder if this has anything do do with Ford's "CanBus" woes Stateside? You know, where you're driving along and suddenly you're doing 40psi MPH, you have 4000RPM of petrol in the tank, the temperature gauge is half full, you have 98 degrees of oil pressure and the rev counter's attempting to show 35mph RPM (but being graduated in thousands is having trouble). While all this is going on, the trip computer is trying to convince you that the next service is due at either 97.2FM or disc 6, whichever is sooner.

Apparently, pulling over and switching everything off and back on usually fixes this. Seem familiar at all?
