TeamXbox reports on a new way to control your Windows Vista PCs and Xbox 360s -- voice control from third party One Voice Technologies:

"Imagine walking into your entertainment room and simply saying, for example; Xbox Play U2 or Xbox Play American Idol, and your Xbox immediately starts playing that content," said Dean Weber, president and CEO at One Voice Technologies.

"With our technology you can control both the main Windows Vista computer along with controlling up to five Xbox 360 game consoles using voice commands. We allow the user to uniquely name each Xbox 360 in their home; for instance one might be named Family Room while another named Game Room. This allows the user to say - Family Room Play U2 or Game Room Play CSI Miami. This creates the ultimate digital home experience combining the power of today's PC's running Windows Vista with the flexibility of having up to five Xbox 360 game consoles in your home offering a complete networked digital media distribution and gaming environment. Now with the launch of Windows Vista and millions of existing Xbox 360 game consoles already in the market, this creates a very large opportunity for our company."

Sounds pretty cool, except for the whole being-tethered-to-Windows-Vista thing. How often do you find yourself in front of your computer in the office wishing that you could issue a voice command to your 360 in the living room?
