Vista gives birth to verbal hack?

The new improved speech recognition technology in Windows Vista could be hijacked to delete files and possibly gain control over the pc. According to the discussions going on in security forums and newsgroups, some users have successfully managed to delete files and folders using voice command feature. Security experts are saying that this feature can be exploited by recording an attack as an audio file and automatically played when a user visits a malicious website.
