I mean, your link shows that the guy above was right that Microsoft was involved. It would depend on the model year. And future versions are planned to run on Android.
From your wikipedia link: The first two generations (Ford Sync and MyFord Touch) run on the Windows Embedded Automotive operating system designed by Microsoft,[3] while the third and fourth generations (Sync 3 and Sync 4/4a) runs on the QNX operating system from BlackBerry Limited.[4] Future versions will run on the Android operating system from Google.[5]
Wait so every ford has some stripped down version of windows with a custom UI???
It was a complete custom UI running on QNX. It had nothing to do with the WinNT platform, or any of its derivates.

That was surprising, maybe not since I know Microsoft makes a Linux distro for servers but I guess I was expecting it to be like how they Xbox runs NT
