you do NOT need to go through the start menu and all apps list to locate the feature. Cortana is on the Taskbar by default on an everyday system. It has been written by someone who has initially customised their system, and not used what the everyday joe would have out of the box. I didn't think MS could do it.Īs much I am a fan of this site I feel this article is dis-Informative. What I spent the last four years trying to avoid by dumping Google is the privacy invasion trash MS is making into the core of its platform now? Congrats, MS, on doing something so abhorrent that I'm ACTUALLY considering a lag-filled Android experience for my next phone and PlayStation as my next console. However, there is no defense to forcing users to subject themselves to data mining for a task as simple as searching for a locally stored file.

'We don't care, either you're in our fancy club, or you're an inferior reader. For some articles you do, but when you don't care, such as here, your article reads as a big 'screw you' to me, your reader. Maybe you need to refresh you geographical knowledge a bit? Here, take a look at this map, and try to find as many grayed out countries as you can:Īnd you didn't even bother to put a small disclaimer in the article. Seriously guys, do you really think that Cortana is available globally? It seems so, as you haven't even spared a sentence to inform that it's available only in selected countries.
