Mathematica 8 Allows Natural Language Input

This is a pretty remarkable development: " ... With the release of Mathematica 8 today, the single most dramatic change is that you don’t have to communicate with Mathematica in the Mathematica language any more: you can just use free-form English instead ... " .    See their full description here.  Having worked with natural language input specification, I know how imprecise it can be.  So I remain skeptical here.  Certainly worth a good look.  Does this mean that non-mathematical analysts can now use the package?
