Title: Windows 10 Fun with Cortana
Post by: gabba on August 01, 2015, 10:54:47 PM
Hi

In the vein of "fun with Siri" I thought I'd start a "fun with Cortana" thread for those using Windows 10.

The first thing I tried was asking the infamous "What is 1 divided by zero" question. Siri is almost rude in it's response. but Cortana more helpfully provides a list of links

I then asked Cortana about Siri
"Do you know Siri? - I want to reach out but all they gave me was an iPhone 3G
"are you friends with Siri" - We've never met , but we do have alot in common.
"Do you like Siri" - Hard to say, so far our conversations have been a bit one sided

I then asked Cortana to "sing to me" (by now you are probably wondering about my ever deepening relationship with Cortana). Cortana sang me a song! I asked again, and it sang me another song. All up I probably asked 5 or 6 times and it gave me different songs each time - Cortanas song repertoire is quite large!

There are a few Cortana Easter Egg sites out there. I asked if Cortana liked Clippy, and it replied "What's not to like. The guy took quite a beating and he's still smiling"

If you find anything interesting, post it below...

I remember using it a fair while back-in the Insider Program- I had me as being in the USA, so Cortana worked for me.
My partner got a hell of a shock when Cortana said "Hi Tom!", in that accent of hers.
