@darryl OK. I am running Windows Vista. What are the names of the applications can Microsoft offer me to be “heard” or “seen?” None of these features you say are standard are turned on, as far as I can tell. Where should I go in the control panel to enable these features? How about Windows Mobile? Can I use Windows Mobile to do a voice command to get Bing Maps navigation and street views with voice-guided turn-by-turn directions?

If Microsoft is already there with voice and gesture control, why is Mr. Ballmer offering a new seeing/hearing prediction for 2019?

Wait, I have some personal questions for you, Darryl. You say “we’ve done that.” How is it that you claim ownership the engineering behind Microsoft’s voice and gesture control features you mention? Do you work for Microsoft Research?

MS has voice control, and gesture control so it can “see” and “hear” users.

BTW:
(and standard with the OS), and works very well, (the voice control).

Very accurate and responsive, easy to use, does not require a net connection, and just works,

sorry mr/ms aurthor, Im agraid we’ve done that, ive allready gone for the Windows Odyssey.

So no need to wait for Microsoft to catch up, you might like to take a post 1995 look at what MS does as well while you at it.

[...] Road to going Droid, Finale The Droid itself is amazing. What really knocks my socks off is the phone is tied in with Google Voice so I can make all of the calls I want for free without going into my calling minutes. It also ties in well with all sorts of software-as-a-service websites, not just Google’s cloud. [...]
