It looks like the official name of Windows Longhorn is going to be Windows Vista. What do you guys think of the name, and of Longhorn in general? And more importantly, what's going to be released first: Duke Nukem Forever, or Longhorn? |

My uncle got the MSDN beta discs for Longhorn/Vista I think 8-12 months ago and he told me what impressed him the most was that Microsoft was working on a voice engine for the OS. Essentially, a built-in "tell-your-computer-what-to-do" engine. Is this smoke up the ass or is it true?
And how badass would that be? Like IBM's "speech-to-text" on a lot of steroids. |

Well, OS X already has such a thing.  And while fun to use, it's actually not that terribly useful or efficient. I guess it might be for disabled users, or perhaps people that are just slow at using an interface.
