[WARN]
Ok all. It's been established in other threads that I work for Microsoft. Let it be Crystal Clear, that I am in NO WAY officially/unofficially representing the company. I am a dedicated mobile enthusiast (which you can tell from my time on the Android forums and here) and just an overall Mobile Geek.
What I am hoping to accomplish through this thread is to spark up discussions and feedback for things people are trying to do with Cortana. Using natural spoken language as the input to request things from Cortana is a key component of Cortana. Once the Developer Preview is released into the wild and people start using it, we'll immediately start seeing the usage on the system, but what we won't see, is HOW and WHAT people are requesting and trying to do.
REQUEST FOR THIS THREAD:
Once you have Cortana up and running, try some things and see what you get. If something comes up perplexing or something that you think should come up differently, then please note it here. Please be sure to include as much detail as you can. Screenshots are AWESOME, but we need at the very least, the following:
Region/Language:
Exact Phrase Spoken:
Did Cortana parse this correctly:
Expected Results:
Actual Results:
Feedback:
(please include screenshots if you can)
Here is an example:
I want to gather up as much of this info as I can so I can present it to our team as a representation of what people in the real world (outside out ours that is) are trying to do and help enhance Cortana.
Discussions are great, but there are a TON of threads for general Cortana discussions, so please use those for that, but let's try and keep this one somewhat clean.
I know, big ask but I thought I would try.
Thanks all!
Please use Cortana Feedback for ALL future feedback! This tool sends the information I have been sending to the same teams!!!
I have requested that this thread be locked!!!

Here is an example:
Region/Language: USA English
Exact Phrase Spoken: What time is it in London?
Did Cortana part this correctly: Yes
Expected Results: Cortana to read me the current time verbally
Actual Results: Displayed a search result that showed me the current time in London
Feedback: It would be really nice if Cortana could read the time for a better hands-off experience.
