I'm assuming since it's their OS, they can leave that part out of the
Chinese version, or make it easily hackable. Or not. Leaving it in
would be a great boon to Linux, at least the Chinese versions, but I'm
not convinced that Microsoft would deliberately hose its own presence in
that market. Time will tell.

They serve their purpose.
Who cares if they are *marketed* as off-road vehicles...it's the same
config that the on-road-only vehicles of the 1920's...
It's kind of a "come around full circle" sort of thing.

No....people like the increased visability of the higher cab, and the
fact that it feels more.....graceful...getting in and out of them.
And if you have kids....having the high floorboards and high seating
is REALLY convenient...the kid's seat-belts are at about chest-level
for an adult standin on the ground outside.
conveneince...it's all about convenience.
The off-road styling and marketing is just to get around the DOT's
stupid-ass CAFE regulations.

That's driver error, not vehicular malfunction.

Again, that's a problem with the person behind the wheel, not the vehicle itself.
