I know those apps have nothing to do with MS that wasn't my point but MS can enforce some rules for scaling for example if Apple can manage it Microsoft can.
Cortana is in beta in the US and the UK. Apple advertised Siri while it was in beta, so I imagine MS is just taking a page from their playbook.
To enable Cortana in the UK, you have two options:
- Set your phone up as a US phone and use the US beta.
- Install the Preview for Developers and then install the GDR1 Update preview to get the UK beta.
Or you can just wait for the GDR1 update to be released. I haven't seen any announcement about when to expect that.
I hope as a fellow IT professional (I've been programming for over 35 years) that you recognize that Microsoft has limited Windows Phone resources, in fact much more limited than Apple has iPhone resources. People on this site tend not to recognize or respect that fact, but it is nonetheless true.
