I've used the voice recognition that was in the Mac OS back in the '90s
and the way it worked is you give the computer a name and you had to
call the computer's name and then the command you wanted to do.  If you
didn't use the correct name the computer would not respond to voice
commands.  

Microsoft could make it so you could customize a name for the computer
and then configure it so it would only respond to users whose voice
matched the user who recorded the computer name.
