Cortana NOT coming to the Netherlands as soon as thought

[Bram Vanroy]

WPCentral posted earlier that Microsoft Netherlands suggested on Twitter that Cortana was coming for that country. Because the northern part of Belgium (Flandres) speaks the same language as they do in the Netherlands (Dutch), I asked Microsoft Belgium if that tweet implied that Cortana was also coming for us Belgians. Unfortunately, Microsoft NL replied quickly:

Translation:
@BramVanroy @Microsoftbe Hi Bram, we've never said "coming soon" It was merely some advertisement for #Cortana.

This suggests that it isn't coming as soon as we thought. I have notified WPCentral of this, but have not seen any update on this - so I'll just post it here.

They can't confirm it's comming of course but why would they advertise with it if they new it won't come quite soon.

I thought about that, but then I'd expect them to just ignore my post. Now the explicitly commented "No, we didn't say it is coming soon [so don't hope for it]".
