I just heard about that.

A few months ago, I read how Bill started their relationship... He met
Melinda in the parking lot and grabbed her by the pussy. He asked about
scheduling a date with her. She retorted "That's not spontaneous enough".
So, dropping to his knees, he started begging her to go out that very
evening. (a dramatization)

A very old Bill Gates quote about marriage...

"I want to marry a woman who's smart enough to know she won't get any of
my money." (or similar)

That was then. Considering his capitulation in the startup of their
relationship, I wonder if he had the balls to use a prenuptial agreement.
One can only speculate about the outcome, since (apparently) the divorce
court stuff (settlement) is hidden. Probably doesn't care, since he
promotes the estate tax and he is still a billionaire.

Don't like it, ignore it. It's that simple.

I have been a hard-core personal computing enthusiast ever since Windows
3.1. I know Microsoft's Windows inside and out.

Closely followed the pre-2000 big Microsoft antitrust trial.

As anybody old enough and has anything to do with PCs knows, Bill Gates
was a huge contributor/factor.

Generally speaking... Being divorced by Melinda is (likely) the last
chapter in Bill Gates' life.

Bill Gates was a relatively HUGE software engineer. Such a major
development in his personal life is news to any high tech oriented person.

This chronic-lying cannibal leftist Australian troll is the most
persistent troll in this group...

And yet, the clueless John Doe troll has continued to post incorrectly
formatted USENET articles that are devoid of content (latest example on
Mon, 9 May 2022 08:14:20 -0000 (UTC) in message-id
<t5aigr$81f$1@dont-email.me>).

NOBODY likes the John Doe troll's contentless spam.

Yet, since Wed, 5 Jan 2022 04:10:38 -0000 (UTC) Troll Doe's post ratio
to USENET (**) has been 61.1% of its posts contributing "nothing except
insults" to USENET.

** Since Wed, 5 Jan 2022 04:10:38 -0000 (UTC) Troll Doe has posted at
least 1350 articles to USENET. Of which 144 have been pure insults and
681 have been Troll Doe "troll format" postings.

This posting is a public service announcement for any google groups

Huge businessman for sure, and he employed jillians of engineers.

Microsoft's (short for "microcomputer software") Windows has been the only
mainstream personal computer operating system since its beginning. Not
even IBM's OS/2 could touch it. While constantly shopping for and playing
with PC stuff, I saw OS/2 in stores but was never persuaded to buy a copy.

Windows had a rocky first ten years (the blue screen of death (BSOD) was
infamous), but, perhaps encouraged by the Microsoft antitrust trial,
Microsoft produced Windows 2000 and Windows XP that made Windows easy to
use for end-users without professional support. No more BSODs or being
locked out of Windows.

I can hear a pin drop in my computer, but nothing in the last few days has
even hinted at anything being wrong. One thing there is a lot of nowadays
is processes starting and stopping. You might not have this in Linux, but
in Windows... We can hear all types of system sounds. Mine has always been
set up to beep whenever a process starts or stops. Over the years, system
activity has gradually increased. Long ago, even seeing the hard drive
light blink without having asked the stupid computer to do something was
annoying. Now it's always doing something.

Windows functionality could be better, but it is adequate. Post 2000, my
only complaint is not having built in speech and automation. I asked the
antitrust trial District Court "friend of the court" about speech
recognition and TTS being essential forms of input/output. He resisted.
But in fact, as Google is proving with Android, speech is a big part of
computing. Obviously someday it will be on every sort of platform. Every
sci-fi movie with computers in it has them talking. Linux has nothing like
that built-in and cannot even be configured to do the speech stuff I do on
Windows.

The deranged Australian troll gets upset whenever somebody else acts like
they know something.

Bozo Bill Sloman, the most frequent troll in this group, is an
attention-craving chronic liar who cannot be reasoned with...

"the user has posted under the same name in other places, so not
nym-shifting" (Bozo sucks at logic)

"the Mueller investigation was about Trump only because Trump made it so"
(Bozo being Bozo)

"the concepts "male" and "female" are essentially social constructions"
(Bozo is a textbook cannibal leftist)

That's old but I remember playing around with text to speech on an XP
box. It was only an API but fairly easy to use. We got a few laughs out
of it but the last thing an emergency dispatcher needs is a talking
computer. Speech to text might have some use although they are talking
to the person on the other end of the 911 call during an active incident.

Fast forward 10 years:

https://www.lifewire.com/use-text-to-speech-in-windows-5206145

Never used it. My brushes with Ease of Access generally come when I fall
asleep on the shift key and get the popup.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-voice-typing-to-talk-instead-of-type-on-your-pc-fec94565-c4bd-329d-e59a-af033fa5689f

That may make the folks at Dragon unhappy. Like Google it goes off to a
server to do the dirty work which may make some people uneasy.

Getting hold of the necessary database could be tricky. Co-oarticulation means that you need a data base of diphones for you language, and in practice for your dialect.

I sometimes listen to the NOAA weather on the radio. The speech
synthesis has improved quite a bit but there are odd slips like
pronouncing 'wind' like 'wind up a spool of wire'. That's surprising
given the limited vocabulary of a weather forecast. Place names are also
problematic but even native English speakers can mangle them. In New
England 'Worcester' can act as a shibboleth to screen out visiting Texans.

I resemble that remark.

"Microsoft completes acquisition of Nuance"

IBM tried speech recognition with its "Via Voice". Microsoft tried speech
recognition with "Windows Speech Recognition" (WSR for short, and it was).

Microsoft has acquired the maker of Dragon NaturallySpeaking (I use to
dictate with and to activate scripts in Windows).

That will be great if Microsoft doesn't kill Nuance's talent and (assuming
it wants to) it successfully integrates Dragon into Windows.

But that's still a long way from voice-activated scripting. Hopefully the
guys/buddies who make the automation utilities compatible with Dragon will
find Microsoft's (assumed) implementation of Dragon in Windows easier to
hack. The Vocola 3 scripting stuff works with WSR (that almost nobody uses).
So there is potential, if Microsoft replaces its SR with the Dragon stuff.
