I've been reading about some interesting Vista glitches, but the speech recognition security vulnerability tops them all.

Not that some of the others aren't interesting. For example, metadata for Nikon RAW files accessed in Windows Vista may become unreadable in other products, like Adobe Photoshop.

But the so-called speech recognition security vulnerability is most interesting for its oddity. The problem: Audio instructions coming through the PC speakers could command Vista to perform limited tasks.
