I could never understand why anyone would think voice driven input would be preferable to a keyboard. Can you imagine 100+ people in an office all talking to their PC's at the same time ?
That was one of the angles I brought out in the piece I wrote, and that laryngitis would no longer require a day off.
It was an audition piece for the data processing firm, DRS, when they wanted a freelance writer.
That's quite a funny article. I use Vista so I can relate to a lot of it. In some respects, Vista is a step back (certainly performance and reliability, at this early stage at least). But there are some great things about it that make it "nicer" to use than XP.
