So today I decided to search for article how to get Cortana working in a car via Bluetooth which was posted few days ago. I usually use IE with Bing. I used phrase "cortana in car wpcentral" and I got those results.

I didn't get what I wanted so I tried my luck with Google Chrome. What I got there:

So first hit was what I wanted. Bing might be good in USA but certainly isn't here in Slovenia.

I 100% agree. While many will argue that "Scroogle" sucks, Bing and other Microsoft services suck outside the US. Like only we get Bing Rewards, etc.

This is why Microsoft's decision to get rid of Google in IE is VERY BAD. Even Chrome has the option...

Not only services, they don't even support devices. No Xbox here and no Surface tablets. Even if you would like to be"full MS" you can't be, and that's stupid from them. In the meantime you have a rang of LG and Samsung products, on sale here at the mostly same time as rest of the Europe or 2 weeks later max, you have fully supported PS4.

Is your country one of the markets for the X1 release in September? I know they are adding many more countries.

I'm getting the WPCentral how-to on using Cortana with your car whilst using Cortana to search.

There really isn't much to say.

You know, it may just boil down to the fact that more people using Google.
