I'll admit it. I had huge doubts that Microsoft would pull it off as amazingly as it did. I honestly had no faith that they would use Jen Taylor and I was only 50% sure they would call it Cortana. The fact that they did BOTH....
I am sure now people would stop bragging Microsoft is a slow poison , they don't listen to user feedback. They do listen.
Cortina sounds natural to me , unlike ***** Siri(though she got natural sound in iOS 7 )
This move shows that Microsoft realizes what they need to do with their IP's. Also we might see a mass exodus from iPhone and Android for Windows phone by halo fan's because they want the master chiefs A.I. As their personal assistant. Now put more Xbox games on Windows and we go the right way. I love my Windows phone and cortana proves that a videogames might help Microsoft more.
