i think the idea is to do away with the keyboard.

not sure i'd be kken on that.

tried the dragon voiceware and hated it.

[srijantje]

it will come to that though,do away with the keyboard

[billy]

a lot of the technology has come from the games machines as well.

Not necessarily.

Microsoft has been planning this for years. Microsoft OS since XP have included a virtual keyboard. Apple has never worked with a tablet PC, Microsoft has have that for years. I don't think Microsoft is coping from others, but taking some ideas from them and creating there own version of it. Microsoft computers since XP could also talk.

It would be a great day when PC users no longer need to spend so much time to protect themselves against those who write the software they use.And if you think, I remember junk Mobile Me recently installed on as many Windows machines many without the permission of their owner.
