Vista has done away with the need for complicated code.

It's just one reason why you shouldn't use speech recognition software for file management, or have your speakers on. Who uses their speakers when they have SR software running? You are supposed to use a headphone/mic combo. It’s not a big deal, and any speech recognition software could be vulnerable to this.

But it's only news because no serious exploits have been found in Vista. Making a big deal out of it only reinforces the belief among the Windows corporate crowd that Mac users are juvenile.

If you have the speech turned on and have selected the default "Computer" option to start listening to commands in stead of the press key approach. All the exploiter would need to do is add the word "Computer" in front of all the other stuff. This “exploit” is also possible in OS X.

I mean, wouldn't any system that uses speech recognition and doesnt require clickable prompts be susceptible to this "exploit"? It is however, quite hilarious. I'm no expert on Vista, as I have yet to actually try it...but how does the speech recognition locate files? I mean, if your computer has unique drive names, for example, how does it navigate to the specific file? I wouldn’t go so far as to call this pathetic.
