BSOD on my MIO navigation

Some time ago I bought a MIO navigation for my car. In my new job I travel a lot more and visit more customers so having a car navigation was really needed. And due to the heavy traffic in the Netherlands, I really need the traffic jam information as well. So I bought a MIO 230. It is working fine but it is completly aimed at Windows users. I have lots of machines in my home, but no Windows boxes anymore.

So I can not update the information regarding the traffic cameras, that is a Windows only program (and I will not run paralells for just that). And as you can see on this picture, the box itself is running Windows as well, so this semi BSOD was bound to happen; I needed to hard reset the box. I should have bought a real TomTom, at least it is running Linux!

TomTom is easier, not that much more expensive, their new HD traffic is *awesome*, plus it comes with TomTom HOME for mac and windows, but is simply mountable in linux. So it is *always* possible to update most of the stuff that needs updating.
