Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your detailed information. I don't have Windows 10 yet, but it is
sounding better and better. I like the idea of Siri having a sister. Smile.

Vince. Cortana is a feature in Windows 10 similar to the voice assistant
called Seri used on Apple devices such as I-phones. You will need a headset
microphone, or if you have a laptop with a built-in hands free microphone,
you would be able to use Cortana. As an example, you could ask Cortana
It's actually spelled S I R I, but yeah from what I hear Cortana is
basically the same sort of idea.
Focus your powers and prepare for buttle.

Hi Kevin,

people? I know that she is really an it, but the name sounds like a she, so
I like to think of her as such. Smile.

Cortana is what Siri is but on the Windows platform. Ask a question, she
will respond back. You get the idea.

Hi paulette.
If you're familiar with Apple devices, Cortana is like Siri. You can ask it
different questions, and it will either answer them with its female voice,
which sounds quite good, or it will open a web page in your default browser
so you can read the information. One thing you can ask
