Michael,
Re - "Lee, I can't believe Microsoft let this market slip through their fingers. It goes to show even a big behemouth like IBM can be a nimble player at times. I agree, once the bugs are fully worked out. Speech recognition is going to be a HUGE user app. Intel will no doubt benifit tremendously."
If IBM's GM is named "Ozzie Osborne", that rules out that product.
I like the idea of Microsoft writing the code for voice rec, it would be so large everyone would need to upgrade CPU's....go Bunny People, go stock price.
I think Bill should buy out Dragon System and get the best early in the game. Mix that with the operating system, and in my useless, non tech opinion, it would be unstoppable....but I believe Dragon is privately owned so perhaps they wouldn't sell out for big $$$ (how unAmerican).
Yes I want this very badly for home use. But with Intel still down, I'm eating cheerios and turing the heat down.
Go Intel, Go AMAT.
