I thought this was very funny!

bbc article

Microsoft has admitted that speech recognition features in Vista could be hijacked so that a PC tells itself to delete files or folders.

Ha ha! Only Microsoft could allow something like this to happen...

Speech recognition has been in the Mac OS for over 5 years (even before Mac OS X), but with it you set a custom word that the computer listens for, before it takes action on any spoken commands...

Microsoft no matter how hard they try they just can't seem to get it right.

It took them 5 years to develope Vista, and only 2 days into the release we have a major flaw...thats very dissapointing i would say.
