controlling my computer with my headset microphone

i've got windows vista and this cool new headset for gaming. Vista has voice recognition software but it doesn't let you control your computer with it (as far as i can tell). I want to be able to say, "open internet, search free movies, open link 1, etc.
anybody got the 411?

You'll end up repeating yourself so many times that once the novelty of speech recognition wears off you'll be back to mousing around and using the keyboard just like everyone else.

dude, i like to lay back on my couch and watch videos on my monitor. Its a lot better to be able to do things remotely than to get up every time i want to switch videos. i have my itouch remote trackmouse app but it isn't the greatest.

there's a really good program for this called Dragon Naturally Speaking. i got a copy for christmas kind of randomly from my dad, and i thought it was going to be buggy, but it works very well. it works with firefox and IE right out of the box and supports 90% of microsoft products.
if you can find a torrent of it i highly recommend it.

or just a $20 media center remote with windows media center or xbmc or boxee, etc..
dont think it really matters how you look at it, unless you have no arms to type with or use a remote, its a dumb feature.
