I don't know much about MS history, but last days I realised there is not enough feedback from them, as people get a ton a ton of thoughts, only not the correct ones.
I've used both Siri and Now. Neither are Cortana, nor is that the focus of the thread. What phone is your daily driver?I'm sure you probably believe that, but I'm pretty sure you haven't used Google Now. Sure, Cortana is capable of doing things that Google Now can't, but the same is true in vice versa. It's like Daniel even told you guys, Cortana is not disruptive, and Android/iOS users aren't clambering to get their hands on it really.

The people who will benefit from this are those who have an Xbox or Windows PC and an iOS or Android smartphone. AFAIK this move has nothing to do with WP. I also fail to see how WP would benefit from it. This move is good for Cortana, but irrelevant for WP. If Cortana becomes a strong and widely recognized and appreciated feature, I suspect this move will be counterproductive for WP.
Does Cortana automatically track your packages, and notify you when they're sitting on your porch? I thought I read somewhere that she had this capability.
Ohh Brother
Netscape lost the browser war because of 2 reasons
1.. It cost for it,and wasn't cheap.
2..Microsoft bundling IE and locked into the os as the default browser
She's tracking all the information from the e-mail, so if you receive email notifications - then Cortana should tell you. Probably the same about SMS notification.
Cortana cannot track the package through online account or somewhere else.
But what did Microsoft gain from 'winning' the browser war?
Control over internet standards, which they had for a few years. Obviously nobody invests millions into software and gives it away for free for no reason. The consequences of not having that control are now apparent on the mobile web. They now are forced to plead and beg with web sites to please abide by official standards, often to no avail.
Ah, this old chestnut. Check out the compliance scores for mobile browsers here: https://html5test.com/results/mobile.html
Sadly, mobile IE is quite a long way behind.
How about testing everything, and not just HTML5, and how about limiting the HTML5 test to what is actually part of the ratified standard. Agree, old chestnut. Lets not get into this for the millionth time.
You can disable it if you want.That sounds really really really creepy. And it's why I disabled Google Now on my phone. How many people actually use or care about these so called 'personal assistants'?

But anyway, I see two solutions for Microsoft (assuming they can't be bothered to bring their browser up to date):

Me? And lots of other people.
How is it 'creepy'? I'd expect that kind of talk from random rednecks, but I'd like to think that WPcentral has a better user base.
