pcmag.com — Microsoft is unveiling Beta 2 of Vista. One of the significant differences in Beta 2 is that the implementation of UAC (user account control) privilege elevation is much more intrusive. Also, the elevation dialog doesn't just pop up; it switches Vista into what Microsoft calls "secure desktop" mode. Here's 46 images of Beta 2.

Yeah, but OS/2's speech recognition sucked badly (sorry, but "discrete" speaking patterns are very unnatural and unsuable in the real world). Of course, that was 10 years ago. If IBM had given a damn enough to maintain OS/2, I'm sure it would have decent speech recognition today.
