Speech Synthesis on Windows 2003

I learned the hard way that the SpeechSynthesis class doesn't run over ASP .NET when hosted on Windows Server 2003. Installing a demo version of Speech Server remedies this problem. Interestingly enough, it can be ran without issue on Windows Vista. I ran the same type of application prototype on a LAMP server with festival installed. The programming was easy and finished within a few seconds. If anybody knows of a better server-based TTS solution, then please leave a comment.
