Dear aunt...
The "All Your Base" of 2006: "Dear aunt, let's set so double the killer delete all". That's what Microsoft Vista's speech recognition engine heard during a live demo that should have begun, "Dear Mom". Well, T-shirts have already hit the Net, and if you'd like to see a video of the demo, hop over to YouTube before it's too late.
I fully understand that understanding real speech is a very hard problem, so my post here is intended as a milestone on the technical highway, not as a commentary on Microsoft products (check out this Vista demo (sounds like it took place in the Mos Eisley cantina), and have a look at Microsoft Live Lab's Photosynth project. That's cool!

I don't know what the original sentence was, but the end result was "Do not jeopardize the chicken"...
...which, I believe, to this day, is still written on a hallway whiteboard outside my old office.
