Breathe more easily in your BMW with broken Windows

The car he was in is a BMW car and although the Reuters piece doesn't say so, we wonder if his car used this fantastic piece of Microsoft technology embedded into the system.

This system uses Windows CE for Automative and is described as an end-to-end system which includes climate control.

Suchart Jaovisidha is quoted as saying "We could hardly breathe for over 10 minutes". µ
