[LINK] Vista analogue security hole

	The fundamental problem here is that Microsoft
	"extended" speech to be able to control the
	Operating System and Applications without
	considering the full security implications.

This is an architecture level issue. And Microsoft has never been very 
good at architecture.

Mind you I've seen lots of big projects where they have no idea of what 
architecture actually is.
