Thanks. I was just thinking "why don't they demo this" and then remembered - they did, back in 2006, and it went embarrassingly wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/w

  Yes, it did. But be careful: "In 2007, reports surfaced that Windows Speech Recognition could be used to remotely access and/or control a user's computer. Theoretically, playing a pre-recorded message containing Windows Speech Recognition commands could allow one to execute tasks on another computer remotely." Why, that reads like a Wikipedia article about a Microsoft product!

    I think that anyone who ever gave a non-rigged demo will feel a painful twinge of sympathy for the engineer in that one - "There, but for the grace of God, go I" ... (And, yes, the "security" issue is pretty far-fetched but is factual, I remember it being raised.)
