If they do that, be ready for court cases even more
notorious than the Pinto lawsuits.

If any fatalities are involved, all a plaintiff's
lawyer has to do is walk into the court room, and
say the words "Blue Screen of Death" as many times
as possible while holding in his hands, where the
jury can see it, a photograph of the console showing
a Windows start-up screen in the Ford vehicle.

At that point, Ford has lost the case, and the
trial isn't even out of the opening arguments yet.
