    A flaw in speech recognition if anything. Although maybe something they should restrict, or make configurable as to what it can do. Maybe if some sort of audio is playing, then speech recognition is disabled.

    And anyway the played sound file would have to match the voice of the person that recorded it in the first place.

    Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole, a new OS is coming out in the next 18months anyway.

    Have just finished putting a clean install of XP on my old PC after years of use (and abuse). Hardware and software that are well tested and compatible that will keep me happy and functional for a long time to come (may be even until after the Vista era).
    With many layers of free security, no compatibility issues with my networking equipment, plenty of media functionality (don't even know whether Decrypter, EAC & LAME would work with Vista) and most importantly an old PC, why would I need to use Aero or the sidebar? I have a MAC for these bells and whistles.:T
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????
