I’m sure you’d be surprised to learn that Microsoft made, or had a hand in making a car stereo. You’d probably be more surprised to know I had a hand in making it! The device you see behind me is the Clarion 310C, what I believe is the first 32-bit car stereo, or in car entertainment system as we’d now call them. Just why did Microsoft decide that car stereos were something they should dip a toe into, and just what is this odd little device?
