Theres a few things in linux that seem like utter M$ - I've spent hours playing with sound cards and music apps and going backwards and then you bump into the one person or doc that gets you over some hurdle and whoosh........ All I need now is a physical desktop tidier so I can actually have somewhere to put a scanner that doesnt push itself or the monitor or a pile of sorted receipts onto the floor - sorry too tight to buy a new one! I've not used decent speech recognition on linux but I learned to speak in the US as a child and found that using a 'genuine' yank accent gave me much better results than my normal voice but gave me imperial designs....
