No. 'ESC-' is not the same as 'M-'. 'M-' is a _modifier_ which
accompanies other keypresses. For 'ESC-', you need to tap the
escape key. After release you'll be in a mode such that if your
next keypress is 'x', say, then it will be treated as if you
had pressed 'M-x'.
So tap escape, 'ESC-' should appear in the minibuffer, and then
press 'C-x'. That should then be treated as 'C-M-x' (which here
does nothing).
Alternatively, try using either the alt or the windows keys to
see if they generate the 'M-' modifier.

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 /.
