This day would come sooner or later, but it appears that it came sooner than expected. It appears the Vista’s speech recognition program can delete files from the hard drive from any sound captured by your microphone, even if it comes from the speakers.
According to Bill Gates: “Vista is so secure it could run life support systems“, but I don’t think it would be a good idea to have any kind of sound input or output on those…
But still, according to the researcher there’s very little to worry about.
“While we are taking the reports seriously and investigating them accordingly I am confident in saying that there is little if any need to worry about the effects of this issue on your new Windows Vista installation,” said the researcher.
Why is this centered around Vista? This is a voice recognition thing, which can be found on other OS’s, including OS X.
This blog is very informative, thanks for the information and for the insights; this is one of the coolest. Iâd like to share my music/lyric site http://www.mylyricscentral.com , hope it will be of great help. Thank you.
This is centered around Vista because the voice recognition in Vista allows users to do things with their voice they normally shouldn’t be able to. Vista doesn’t recognize between a human voice and the sound coming from a stereo.
When I first heard about this yesterday, I wondered why people were bothering to report on it.
All speech systems have suffered from this “hole”.
