Microsoft messes up yet another tech demo
Microsoft's Windows Vista speech recognition tech demo messes up and embarrases the demonstrator, not unlike the infamous Windows 98 demo where the blue screen of death exploded in the demonstrators face as the audience began to laugh

Thanks to everyone whose kept this going in up and coming top place, I appreciate it! To everyone who says I ripped it off google, duh, i'm not denying that. A lot of YTMNDs are just rips from movies. WTF was the first YTMND ever? It was Sean Connery unedited, because it was ALREADY funny. You all are morons if you downvote because its not original.

Well, at least the demoer has a sense of humor about the whole affair. Vista is still beta, so hopefully things will get better.

Your all so f*cking stupid. 99.9% of you do NOT know how to program. You have NO IDEA how this program works programmer wise. AND YOU COULD NEVER DO ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE TO ANYTHING MICROSOFT DOES. GTFO of YTMND insertwackynamehere. F*ck you.
(0)
Slight, stfu. I do know how to program, of course I couldn't write a speech recognition program, but I can program. But I guess you feel bad for the poor guys at Microsoft who either couldn't program the speech engine properly or didnt factor in the environmental factors such as ambient noise. Either way thier tech demo backfired in a humorous way. Thats life. Your argument makes no sense.

slight, stfu. if you think microsoft programs WELL, then you are ignorant of reality. they have good programmers, but they make sh*t. all of it is sh*t. Vista has already proven it's sh*t. 40 gigs of space required? please. that's just a testament to how how sh*t they pushed into it.
