Which has existed, in one form or another, for years. I was using a voice enabled faxmodem a decade ago to answer my phone. The software that came with it (don't remember the name, but WinFax also does/did this) even allowed for a simple IVR, for mailbox selection and whatnot. The only things it didn't do that asterisk does (and would be useful to the average Joe) was support multiple phones/extensions and send voicemail messages via email. I just don't see the consumer market opening up enough to make it worth the expense and hassle of writing/supporting Windows drivers. Digium is great at what they do - I wouldn't want them changing what they're doing now if it could impact the quality of their core products/drivers.
