A dutch guy I know has so many problems with his right hand, that he uses for his mouse, that he now only uses the hand for moving the mouse, and instead of clicking, he just says "Click" and "Double-click". First time I visited him at the office, I just couldn't stop laughing when I found out why he sat there and said "Click - click - double-click"...

It helps him with the hand, and he probably also gets more fresh air in the lungs and more oxygen to the brain - the question is, how unnatural usage of the voice will affect his voice in the long term - controlling the mouse with the eye was an early idea, that was dismissed because the eyes were stressed too much.

Does anybody know if MS Office 10 has a security feature, that prevents an annoying small brother from saying "File Exit No" in my microphone?

So, future growth is dependent on big companies, that want employees to talk to their computers while they are at work. I can already see the sales going up and up and up.

XML works fine with older versions of MS Office, so that will not be the reason to upgrade.
