Having played around with the speech recognition in Vista, it is very easy to turn the speech recognition off when you are not using it. I don't remember the precise phrase, but you just say something like "stop listening". A kid in one of my classes had a Mac and used speech recognition on it. When he was using speech recognition we would shout different phrases in an attempt to shut his machine down, among other things. I think we only got it to shutdown once, most of the time it didn't work b/c we were too far away, or he turned that feature off. I've had the same experience with Vista. This sounds like FUD to me.....
