Cortana News (Coming from the inside) (OP being updated)

[LSDigital]

You are saying an OS can have feelings.

 

[David P2]

Everything will be coming to everywhere. WHEN is the question. I am not going to say the 4 letter *oo* word, but it's coming faster than you all think.

Boob? :wink:

Boob? :wink:

Fool.

It is happening.

Finally Bing is getting the love it deserves also outside of the U.S.

I just noticed on the German Bing site that search results now also show the extended info box on the right side, which wasn't there few weeks ago.

Same here in the Philippines. Yay!

Thanks for the heads-up, I was really waiting for this feature!

 

[Panathas]

When Bing outside the US can tell me how tall the Eiffel tower is, then I will believe Cortana will #oo# arrive

I just learned Cortana in the UK will have a british accent, I hope there is a switch for accents as I would much prefer Jen Taylor's voice as opposed to a British accent.

Well I do want a Northern Ireland accent. /sarcasm

MS will not implement an 'accent switch', for sure. At least now.

I've just heard elsewhere Cortana will come to China by the end of the month. Come on Talderon, you have to keep up!

LMAO, It's not a matter of not keeping up, it's a matter of not being able to say anything. There are certain things I can get away with, but others that I am just not going to push my luck on.

I can't give specifics, but India and Europe as a whole need to keep a close eye on things Cortana related.

 

[TruPlaya187]

I will really be happy the day they announce Cortana working in Canada! I remember that somebody higher up add Cortana (Canada) enabled to show in the convention.

Talderon, do you know or can you say something about the availability of Cortana in Canada?

I know, I was just kidding. But seriously, you should tell your boss that people want more info, even in an non-official way.
I'll be very glad just by knowing there is a little chance that more countries will get Cortana this year

And then people mad at Microsoft because they were teased and hate to wait for too long for that to happen.

India? Did you really mean that? *exited*

 

[Talderon]

Nope, I was kidding.

Ok, I was kidding about kidding. India and Europe are looking good. I have been watching some of the testing and the real big holdback is the voice recognition.

There are some shifts coming ahead on how Cortana is going to be released to markets which should allow us to shorten the timelines, but there may be some sacrifices needed in order to do that, so things are being weighed and balanced to see what is best for everyone.
