Bill Gates Answers the Phone

<LOL> I picked up my phone, hit a number, and got BillG (well, his voice)!   When you dial the main Microsoft phone number, 425-882-8080, an automated operator says "Who would you like to contact?", you just speak the name and it connects you.  Real easy.  So easy that to dial internal colleagues, I usually just dial "0" from my work phone which goes to the same operator.  Earlier this week it wasn't working.  I just tried again and low and behold... "Hi, this is Bill Gates, thank you for calling Microsoft.  To reach a specific person, just tell me their name."  It's his voice!  Cool.   Wonder if they'll change it to Ray Ozzie's voice when Bill retires...

Update 10/19/06: I've found out that you will not hear BillG's voice if you call that main Microsoft phone number.  Evidentially it is only internal.  Supposedly they are beta testing the voice quality.
