    When I lost my bank account detail I asked Cortana for help and she knew my pin and ac number. She knows everything about me where I live, porn website I sometimes open, letters I write. She's quiet useful piece of software made by great company

    Don't use any such kind of digital assistent myself either, that includes Cortana. In fact, this thread put me at ease, knowing I'm not the only one that just can't seem to find a good use for such a thing. I'm still excited though because some day I'm sure it will be at a level where it is usefull. This stuff always reminds me of the early days of windows using Dragon Dictate. It would take hours of learning for it to understand anything really.

    I found it/her to be of limited use. Seemed to get confused after 2 or 3 questions and would just say "sorry, what was that?" (or similar).

    Sacked it off.

    You may want to get your sarcasm detector fixed.

    what would bother me is if I asked what my credit card pin was and it answered correctly , and I never entered it at any time on my computer ! things you enter on your computer are some time saved without you knowing it so I use caution when ever do any thing personal online , like my medical info . ;)

    I use it alot, after a long hard day at bank, it's nice to know there will be a woman at home (I'm Single) that I can talk too (about anything) yup and when she starts nagging, one click, poof , she's gone. and if your feeling yours oats, well you would have to ask others:g:

    Removed from the off. These things are best left to mobile devices, as I like to think I'm still using a PC, and that my hands still work.
