Mobility Site - View Single Post - Microsoft Voice Command Released. Any good?

Had to have it. I'm addicted to gadgets and toys (and besides I wanted to be the first at work tomorrow to show it off).....

First impressions: Pretty amazing! Not perfect (or maybe I'm not that good with interacting with it yet), but pretty damn good for something you do not have to train!

What it does, more than anything, is to give you a taste of a function that could be VERY useful!! If other software could be modified to work with whatever hooks are there, that would be outstanding. I can just imagine talling Mapopolis that I was to navigate from my present GPS position to an address in my contact list or a favorite location I have saved in Mapopolis or, even, a location/address I dictate.

Right off the bat, the first improvement I would make is to have become active with a voice command (such as "VC ON") instead of having to push a button to activate. The more hands free, the better........

If anyone comes across a forum (Microsoft or otherwise) dedicated to MS Voice Command, please post.
