A funny vista attack
I found this attack that hackers recently demonstrated on vista very funny!
So Vista has a speech recognition feature enabled by default using which you can talk to perform actions on your computer. So the basic idea in the attack is to somehow open a popup in your browser and load an audio file with commands to do whatever you want: shutdown the computer, delete system files, whatever :)
The people who coded this feature, I'm sure, must be mighty embarrassed now!
