Matsuda Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Microsoft has apparently managed to score yet another important win, as the Hertfordshire Constabulary police has decided to install tablets running Windows 8 in police cars.WinBeta is reporting that several Vauxhall Astra police cars will get touchscreen Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 in the coming weeks as part of a trial supposed to help the authorities determine whether the same device should be deployed in the entire fleet or not.In addition to new Windows 8 tablets, patrol cars will also be upgraded with 8.4-inch touchscreen monitors developed by KME and 4G connectivity to access web-based systems on the go.Microsoft hasn’t yet issued a statement on this, but it’s pretty clear that Redmond can only be pleased with this announcement, as the company still struggles to make Windows 8 a widely adopted operating system all over the world.Source Edited October 16, 2013 by Matsuda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodel Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 My plan to take over the UK is comming into effect nicely :-Phase 1 :- Windows 8 / 8.1 installed in every police vehicle in the UKPhase 2 :- Wait until said police peoples, think it's a good idea to install wifi also in said policey cars and hope that none of the wifi's are secured.Phase 3 :- Inject virus OTA (over the air), into said cars, wait for viri to propagate and turn all cars into a torrent seeds.Phase 4 :- Order pizza :), whilst chaos ensues.I'm off to my paddded room now, can I have the blue pill this time please.
