"While the hackers have been counting on Vista's speech recognition accuracy, Microsoft representatives have had much less success in demonstrating the feature to the public. In this infamous video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y_Jp6PxsSQ) Microsoft blamed ambient noise on the operating system's humorous interpretation of the spoken word."

Ha ha!  Using the speech recognition to tell the computer to delete everything on the C: drive.

"Here, play this audio file"
<file starts playing> "DELETE C:\*.*" <short pause> "Y"

Classic.  Not really an exploit, though...  This would happen with any computer that has voice recognition software installed.

It's very amusing, that's for sure. That's one of those things when developing a feature like that you just don't consider.

Reminds me of an old clip I saw of some guys demo'ing some voice recognition software on linux - and a guy in the back stood up and yelled 'rm -rf /*'
