Comment M$, Ford and corporate honesty (Score 1) 355

I caught this story this morning on the radio, here's a link to AP's version. The gist is that Ford passed out a 98-page book at it's annual shareholders meeting that, according to AP, "says sport utility vehicles are environmentally unfriendly, chug gas and can be a danger to drivers in smaller vehicles. The automaker also said its high-profit business in SUVs doesn't always jibe with its desire to be more environmentally responsible." They go on to say that they will continue to build SUVs, using that old corporate truism "[if Ford] limited its SUV sales in the name of environmental concerns, competitors would simply pick up more customers." However you may feel about Ford, SUVs and quality of life issues in general, I have to say that I'm a lot less annoyed by Ford's statements than by M$'s claims of "innovation."
