Cortana & Windows 10

[nathanjrb]

She's a bit rubbish, isn't she?

She answers everything with Bing and Bing answers nothing.

That's not fair, you're used to that cleaver talking computer thingy on the Enterprise, I don't doubt Cortana sounds a bit dumb after that.

 

[nathanjrb]

Haha! That poor lady who voiced the Star Trek computer is dead now though

I said "Hey Cortana, open calculator" - so she just did a Bing search for "open calculator" :/

Does that count as a 'Derp"?

 

[nathanjrb]

Well it may be that I'm the Derp because what I should have done is actually ask her to calculate the sum rather than asking her to just open the calculator. She probably thought I was being condescending and she thought she'd be a smart arse.

I have never actually used her on my phone, but I think these sort of things lend themselves to mobile devices etc, but not really PCs.

Though she does have an exponentially better name than the Apple version

What's wrong with "Sorry" as a name.... uh, I mean Siri :tt2:

 

[nathanjrb]

My TV sets Siri off all the time - so annoying. I was watching the news a few months back and all of a sudden she started a google search for chemical weapons during a Syria report. I'll have the police at my door!
