Speech recognition in Vista- videos

I'll be upgrading to Vista soon and went looking for information on it and ran across this demonstration of a user trying out the voice recognition. It worked very well at times and at other times I think he had trouble since the cursor placement was off - which can confuse the program as to what/where/how etc. You'll see what I mean if you watch a little bit of the video. It certainly looks like it might be helpful for web browsing. And then check out the second video.



Here's another user playing cards with it, using it in Paint, notepad and to navigate the desktop. Quite impressive.



Here are some demos of accessibility features in Vista, in case you're like me and you haven't tried it out yet.
