What I find funny, is the fact that the author speaks of the often-frowned-upon PROVEN FACT often touted by MSIE users: "it is now big enough for malware (virus and spyware) authors to target."
Yep, there it is folks. The words MSIE users have been waiting to hear.

On topic tho, will this technology eventualy allow automatic filter cleaning? Like keeping the fuel filter, and tranny screens free of debris? That would help a lot.
But they tell you it's "web based," and that makes it ok? Yup, and our company has made millions. How much have you personaly made?...uh, huh, thought so:)
