Hi Dan.
I am very fortunate in that my oldest son has a computer business, where he installs computer systems for businesses. That said, he has an "executive trade license." with most manufacturers and suppliers and had just attended a Microsoft office 2007 conference. Of course, none of the people at the conference knew anything about Microsoft Vista-go figure. I e-mailed Microsoft and had some questions to ask, and my reply was "your OEM is the one to contact, they might have changed our program.". Mark contacted Microsoft and was told to wait six months, and the bugs would be ironed out. :-)! So I, I'm fairly patient about most things, decided that I did not want to be patient with my new toy. If they get things ironed out in six months great, but meanwhile, I will get to play with my new toy. I suggested they use a changeable startup command, so that each person could adapt it to his own needs. That is what the Sony Ericsson phone does, and it makes it much more reliable. Even NaturallySpeaking has learned new startup commands. I think that this would be a fairly easy, quick fix-but whom I to know? After all, I'm only somebody that has to use a speech recognition of some sort-or resort to using mouthstick when I am up in my chair. LOL.
