Definitely, I missed that one too...

Microsoft said the exploit was "technically possible" but there was no need to worry.

Yeh, k Mr Gates :hihi:

Give it six months, walk into PC World, scream FORMAT!

From my mate in holland:
The new version of Windows (Vista) has speech recognition software
built into it, which you can use to issue voice commands to your
computer. Here's an interesting possible side-effect of that......




Voice command is autoloaded if you calibrate the system and
enable Voice commands. You can actually activate voice command
mode by saying a certain phrase. If this exploit works, you
could say that phrase first and then start your commands. Then
you'd say "start", "cmd", "enter", then bark out the commands
you want. This assumes it works and that no one near the PC
gets suspicious.

I can see it now; all you need is one owned host every
few feet and you can bark commands to all the others
within earshot. First thing you tell them is to join in
the sing-along. It would make a great movie scene -- with
maybe Richard Clarke looking over his shoulder down a
corridor in the Pentagon and saying "Do you hear that?"
as a crescendo of "halt-and-catch-fire" rises in the
in the distance...

Here's $500 for the first documented case of someone
using the white courtesy phone in an airport to page
Mr Shootdown, Reese Sett, Sleep Now, or whatever and
blanking all the laptops in a concourse.

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but there was a thread on here in which someone sought information as to how to put speech/ voice recognition on, with Vista Home Premium.

I put it on, but I was '' in wine '', as they say.

Anyone know how I take it off please ?
