,----[ Quote ]
| At Microsoft's annual Financial Analyst Meeting on Thursday, Vista
| product manager Shanen Boettcher set out to show just how easy to use
| the speech recognition technology built into upcoming Windows Vista
| software will be. Like, for example, dictating aloud a simple,
| heartfelt letter to mom, and having one's voice automatically
| transcribed into a computer.
|
| The result was a disaster.
