I really like the speech recognition that comes with Windows 7, but I'm left wondering what this button does:
It seems to do nothing, and the hover text doesn't really help me much. What does it do?

It starts the listening mode. From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Use-Speech-Recognition-to-operate-windows-and-programs
To open Speech Recognition
Open Speech Recognition by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, clicking Ease of Access, and then clicking Windows Speech Recognition.
Say "start listening" or click the Microphone button to start the listening mode.

my primary language is spanish, but I use all my software in english, including windows; however I'd like to use speech recognition in spanish.
Do you know if there's a way to use vista's speech recognition in other language than the primary os language?

Well you could use Spanish if your OS was in Spanish. From MS knowledge base.
