Windows progs (not sure about OS) have had speech commands and feedback. Word is supposed to support this in some way. I think you have to train it to understand your accent though. Opera also has some speech command capabilities. I always just can't be bothered though. I usually only decide what I'm going to type, one or two words in advance, so there's all too frequent editing. I don't think I could be bothered doing that with a spoken interface.
Virtual mem is rather a silly thing, specially with windows. So is all the rediculus caching that's performed. It just doesn't matter how much RAM you have, windows loves that HD swap file.
I think the feature I'm really looking for is a couple of extra arms and hands: one for the mouse, and one for my coffee, with two on the keyboard at all times. Would be damned handy for tricky soldering jobs too.
VR gloves are still under development. Might be good to use for some tasks at least. My uni's trying to develop VR gaming as a means of therapy for disabled or injured people. The idea is for kids particularly, to develop better motor coordination in their hands, while playing those all too adictive games. Should have potential.
Anyway, I guess the computer advance I'm most waiting for is ... OS4 on my x86 box. ;-) Sorry, don't want to start any arguments again.
