thinking about. For example, when will speech recognition be good enough
for everybody to use that? And we have made a lot more progress this year
on that. I think we will surprise people a bit on how well we will do on
our speech recognition. Also the idea of how the phone and the PC are
coming together. Where you will be able to see the calls that you missed,
or even when your phone rings see immediately who that is that's calling,
or control how that is forwarded, or even set it up so that the screen is
part of your interaction. We are seeing that as increasingly important and
are putting a lot of research into that.

Research? Just subscribe to the list, people on here have been doing
that for years ...
