It is so sad that Ford went with MS. One has to wait patiently for updates and patches. And I don't think it is easily extensible. Speaking of health monitors, Scott Hanselman over at www.hanselman.com blogged about the possibility and hysteria around the thought that someone could wirelessly hack your health device (pacemaker, insulin pump, etc) and KILL YOU or blackmail you. Is this a risk for open source?

Great to see the article noting the massive overall increase in open source software usage.
