BTW, I've been drawing pictures of this type of cluster since the mid '90s.
Oh great... what will it run on Windows XP?

Just where will they put the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys... on the steering wheel? We may need to reboot when it locks up at 75 mph on the freeway?

I thought it was funny too, but it seemed like a serious joke to me.
