You should have a look at voice recognition and dictation software - its
come a long way since the days I first assisted IBM as a Beta tester for an
early version of Viavoice. There's no pain at all in speaking into a headset
microphone (assuming the operator isn't voice impaired) and it's much faster
for those who've never bothered learning to type - or cant for whatever
reason.

As you rightly pointed out, the documentation and relevant info on ATIs
website indicates that an All In Wonder type graphics card must be
configured as the primary VGA card for it to work properly - well how can
you do this when there are 2 of them in the same machine, the simple answer
is you cant. Its a hardware limitation not a software or driver limitation.

If you want the capabilities of dual tuners in a machine with an All In
Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro, your best bet would be to sell the other All In
Wonder second hand and buy a dedicated ATI TV Tuner card. Under ATIs MMC
software this will give you something they term MulTView. I believe the
latest ATI TV Tuner card, called the TV Wonder Elite doesn't currently
operate under ATIs Multimedia Centre and I don't know if plans are afoot to
allow this however it is Windows XP Media Centre 2005 compatible along with
the AIW Radeon 9700 (using the latest standard XP drivers) so that may be a
way to go. Alternatively you could buy a TV Wonder Pro or lower for
immediate MMC compatibility. Although I have several AIW Radeon cards, I've
never tried running more than 1 in a given machine because they're all AGP
cards (I have none of the old PCI All in wonder cards).

How is "microsux" "hindering research" in voice recognition? Seems to me
that there were a lot of players all of which pretty much lost their shirts
and ended up under Scansoft, which seems to be putting 30 million dollars a
year into R&D and coming up with bupkis. The only "hindering" that I see
"microsux" doing is the licensing of certain Scansoft products.

I don't see any wonderful voice recognition products coming out of the Open
Source community that is completely unhindered by "microsux".
do u recall voltrax or the sc01 chip?

What of them? Really crappy speech synthesis.

Personally I'd advise ditching the AIWs completely--as TV boards their main
utility is that they are a single-slot solution. Separate tuner boards
work as well or better.

The main thing you give up with MCE 2K5 vs MMC is the transparent video. In
exchange for that you gain the ability to display video on the primary or
secondary display and to drag the video window from one to the other. It's
the first PC video recording system that actually is a reasonable
substitute for a Tivo IMO.
