Apparently you can hack Vista through its speech recognition capability.

The exploit scenario would involve the speech recognition feature picking up commands through the microphone such as “copy”, “delete”, ”shutdown”, etc. and acting on them. These commands would be coming from an audio file that is being played through the speakers.

I’m still waiting for the day when if you convince your machine of a logical contradiction, it will start billowing white smoke and then explode.
