Vista speech recognition demo (gone bad)

Not as good as the famous Bill Kenote Blue Screen, but an amusing watch none the less.

I don't think that any OS is even close to a good speech recognition product (or so I have read).

Got to check it out....I have always been interested in the speech recognition software, but have been very disappointed so far.

It was horrid 10 years ago....Its better, but not perfect.

I don't think it can be perfect only because of the millions of voice patterns, plus some people mumble.

What the hell is the matter with that guy?

I always thought he was really Microsoft's first beta of a cyborg.

GDI ... ... no wonder the stock (MSFT) hasn't gone anywhere but down this past year. (Embarassingly owns too many shares to tell you ...)
