Pizza Hut annoyances

On: Why Do Companies Stick with Voice Menus?

I usually can deal with VRS, but Pizza Hut delivery broke the camel's back.

The simulated "girl" on the other end of the phone kept "TYPING" out loud. It sounded like it was digitized from an old Mac 128K. It was thunderous. Knowing it was also completely unnecessary AND that Pizza Hut thought I was stupid enough to think it was real, drove me nuts.

They ditched it a little while ago, thank goodness.

How many need one?

MS would do well to grab a version of Linux and build Longhorn around it. But they won't.
