Thanks a lot, Bill. Not.

"Windows Speech Recognition in Windows Vista empowers users to interact with their computers by voice. It was designed for people who want to significantly limit their use of the mouse and keyboard while maintaining or increasing their overall productivity. You can dictate documents and emails in mainstream applications, use voice commands to start and switch between applications, control the operating system, and even fill out forms on the Web."

Here's a glimpse of the Future of computing from Micro$oft, the maker of intelligence voice command PC.

Geek: "Computer, increase CPU clock speed."
M$ Voice PC [in female machine voice]: "Sorry, I can not comply! Increase clock speed outside of my normal operating range will endanger my health."
Geek: "Bullsh*t!"
M$ Voice PC: "I am sorry, I do not understand your last command. Please repeat."
Geek: "Open browser."
M$ Voice PC: "I prefer to be addressed as 'computer', please say again."
Geek: "Okay... Computer! Open browser, goto site 'http://www.xxx.xxx'."
M$ Voice PC: "Please wait. Executing your commands."
M$ Voice PC: "I am sorry, the website you are trying to visit contains pornographic materials. It is not healthy for your mind. May I suggest another site?"
Geek: "What are you a saint? You're a god damn computer. Give me my site!"
M$ Voice PC: "You voice sounded rude. I will ignore your last command."
Geek: "Go f**k yourself, you piece of sh*t! Oh, sorry... Computer, go f**k yourself!!"
M$ Voice PC: "Sorry, I can not comply."
[Geek banging on the computer with anger.]
M$ Voice PC: "Stop! You are damaging my hardware. Initiate defensive mechanism."
"Aaaaah, you piece of sh..." [Geek tasered and loss consciousness]
