I believe BMW's iDrive system runs a CE version of Windows in both the 7 and a more limited version in the new 5 series. The Audi A8 also has something similar.
Reviews hated the system, not because it was buggy or crashed. Mostly because the pointing device is like a pong controller with a few side buttons. Learning to navigate stereo, climate, etc settings is difficult.
1. Honeywell, top maker of vac units and controls recommends temperatures of 76-78 degrees for low-activity office environments; check out the website they offer a very handy climate tool. This is also right on keel with the energy department's guidelines.
2. How many of the people complain that this is too warm:
a. are overweight, or
b. smoke, or
c. drink warm beverages and not the recommended 8 glasses of water a day, or
d. have high blood pressure, or
e. feel sleepy because they aren't getting the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep at night, or
f. not interested in what they are doing enough to stay awake.
It's a darn shame that healthy, wealthy, and wise people who have a controlled and healthy life need to be concerned with too cold at work and suffer because of any combination above.
