“She’ll get to know me, and she won’t give me the same answer that she’d give you…the Cortana character was a great description of the helpful, intelligent, intuitive character that you get to know and trust over time.”īasically, she continues to learn more and more about you as you talk (or even type) to her. Windows Phone chief Greg Sullivan spoke with NBC News about why the company named Cortana after a video game character - and how “she” represents the Microsoft vision under the company’s new CEO Satya Nadell. You might have heard of the legendary video game franchise Halo, (and also 1 of 16 billion dollar Microsoft companies) You might be asking, “Cortana? Why did they decide on Cortana?” There is a really cool answer to that question. What? Not a Windows fan? Well, guess what? It is even available on Android and coming to iOS. Well, Cortana is very similar but built right into Windows 10, both desktop (tablet, laptop) and windows phone (and soon, Xbox). You are probably familiar with Apple’s Siri, or even Google Now.
Today, let’s talk a little about the Microsoft’s new virtual digital assistant, Cortana. That clarity and insight into the highly anticipated release would free your mind to great new features and power of Windows 10. But, with Windows 10 Shots (this new series of posts), the hope would be that the opposite would happen. I hope you read last week’s post, Windows 10 Shots – The Setup.Īs I mentioned last time, with most shots after about a handful things will start to get a little hazy. But it seems people were quite happy to go it alone.Hey, welcome back to another Windows 10 Shots blog post. You could, for example, use your voice to tell Windows to connect to your WiFi network, choose keyboard options and sign into your Microsoft Account. When Microsoft introduced Cortana integration during setup last year, it seemed like an attractive feature for Windows 10 newcomers, as it allowed users to offload some tasks to the AI helper. The change will come into effect with the next Windows 10 feature update, codenamed 19H1, which is expected in April. That doesn't mean the AI is gone forever: Microsoft states you can fire up Narrator at any time by pressing "WIN + Ctrl + Enter." Home users, on the other hand, will still have Cortana enabled by default. "Based on feedback," Microsoft is getting rid of Cortana's voice walkthroughs for Windows 10 clean installs by default on Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions, the company said in a blog post. People aren't keen on having Microsoft's digital assistant butting in during the PC setup process.
