This is Cortana, Microsoft?s answer to Siri | The Verge

Tom from the verge just shared some pictures of how Cortland looks and what setting users can control.

Interesting. I wonder if WPC will have more in depth information. Not sure I will ever use it but it's good to know what it does just in case.

[xratola]

I'm amused, looks neat.

All I really need it to do is play specific songs or playlists on command. It would also be nice to be able to use voice commands to fill out every text field on a form (by some magic). Otherwise I don't really care what the weather is like.

Looks so awesome!!

So it tracks things via your email, much like Google Now... isn't that something MS were going all scroogled about?

Now I just can't wait...... I wish I was on the testing team or something.

Don't you know that we all trust ourselves but not the other guy? :-)

Information is stored privately on Cortana's notebook which as far as I understand is stored in your device and not online so that other identities can have access to it.

And you have the option to stop it as well

You know that this is something you have to opt in to right?

Dumb question but I wonder if that's the real Tom.

Nice pictures though, April 2nd is taking longer and longer to get here.

You obviously missed the point of the commercials. MS isn't spying on our data and selling said data to advertising firms so they can spam us with ads related to personal items within our emails.

My Cortana will call me Lord Vader.

As others have stated already, this is something you can disable. But it is stored locally and perhaps partially in the cloud (we don't know for sure) but you can delete and edit the notebook and you can detail which parts she does and doesn't store about you. Features that are not available in google (or even Facebook really).

Good morning Master Chief.

Am I the only one who expected more of the UI.?
The second shot where Cortana is processing looks very bleak and the two twisting circles look really suckish. Also the fonts. :|
