  Glitch in voice-recognition software foils Microsoft demo
Time: 01:13 EST/06:13 GMT | News Source: USA Today | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft was hoping new voice-recognition software would impress an auditorium full of financial analysts, but a glitch turned the live demonstration into a bit of an embarrassment.

The trouble began when the presenter, a member of the team working on the new version of the company's Windows operating system, gave his first voice command.
