I didn't mention Microsoft anywhere in that post, nor I was referring to them, but to natural language processing in general. It will get much better as platforms like Bing and Google (for example) get better algorithms and more data to process.

Elenarie: Too bad for your joke it is not like that and works great. Voice is the next mainstream navigation, even touch is a joke compared to it. Give it some time and you'll be laughing at how terrible it was to use a device that must sit on a stable platform, move that device around in order to move a pointer on a display, use force to press the device in order for some action on the screen to start happening.

jamyskis: If I didn't know you better as a Microsoft fanatic I'd think you were being ironic.

The Xbox One's voice control is quite possibly the worst thing I have ever seen. I came back from a friend's house last week - the first time I'd actually seen an Xbox One in operation - and the most fun we had was trying to get the Kinect to actually do anything. The joke above actually comes from that evening - we were sat there trying to say "Xbox gehe zur Startseite" and "Xbox Ton aus" several times before picking up the joypad/receiver remote and just doing it from there. On one occasion, the Xbox actually went to the start page when another person said he was leaving, and it also opened Skype as well, although I never did figure out why it did that.

... Does it really work that reliably with english? That's actually pretty cool! Obviously people will need to get used to it (recognizing such trolling will become second nature soon enough), but seriously... I want to turn off my computer by telling it to from the kitchen

I mean seriously, that's almost Start Trek shit right there. ... Again.

I need voice control for my microwave...I just want to be able to say, "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." and feel like I am on the Enterprise.

Or you'll feel like you're in the heart of gold when you get something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

Oh I love those weirdly complex thought processes that DNA managed to write down in his books. I feel reading them when I was young is half the reason why people start blinking in confusion and say 'Excuse me?' whenever I try to make a joke (in addition to the fact that I'm not half as good at creating the weirdly complex thought processes. Yes, I blame mr. Adams for my social awkwardness.)

I consider Windows 8 and its fucking schizophrenia (two UIs, a remotely censored "app store" hidden inside a real computer OS, etc.) the worst thing happened to personal computing since Microsoft Bob, so Windows 9 could be all good news if they make it right. Ie ERASE METRO AND ITS APPS from this universe and put the Start Menu (or a meaningful upgraded feature) back.
