I suspect of all the reasons to prefer Pari/GP:
$ gp -q
? printtex(x^2/x^3)
\frac{1}{x}
over Mathematica, that this isn't one of them. It's a reason

I tried the Vista speech recognition by running the tutorial. I was
amazed, it was awesome, recognised every word I said. Then I said the
wrong word ... and it typed the right one. It was actually just
detecting a sound and printing the expected word! -- pbhj on /.
