Very interesting that this discussion ended up talking about the dangers of voice control.. look at this article from the BBC about Vista having a security exploit due to voice control!
Vista has speech recognition hole.
Quote:
"The exploit scenario would involve the speech recognition feature picking up commands through the microphone such as 'copy', 'delete', 'shutdown', etc. and acting on them," a Microsoft security researcher wrote on the team's official blog.
But like most exploits, there are usually significant barriers and limitations that make it less dangerous than it sounds. Still, it is intriguing and worth keeping an eye on if you plan to use the Vista voice recognition features.
