• Cortana isn’t exactly going away, but…

    Good overview of Cortana’s long-anticipated demise by Tom Warren, over at The Verge.

    Microsoft is now refocusing Cortana and stripping back its direct integration in Windows 10 and the Xbox One. Microsoft has a new vision for Cortana, involving conversational interactions for workers who are organizing their days.

    Don’t know about you, but I’m quite happy with the way my working days are organized. Which is to say, hectically.

    I use Alexa and OK Google all the time, and Siri occasionally. I never understood why anyone would want Cortana. Perhaps “she” will find peace in her new home.
