Well, it all depends how it's implemented. As a complement to the "P" in WIMP, I think it could be an incredibly useful tool.... not to mention an extraordinary asset for the platform where the standard-setting Dragon Naturally Speaking doesn't exist.
But yes, in a crowded office setting, speech recognition is not going to be the UI of choice.
