Microsoft's Cortana

Microsoft has been developing a voice assistant similar to apple's Siri but on their new Windows 10 operating system. The system will be a personal assistant and will be activated by the user's voice. The user will be able to conduct Google searches and utilizes other things such as global positioning to tell Cortana to do things at certain areas in the world.

I think that it is pretty cool that Microsoft is going into the business of voice controlled operating systems. I think that the technology that it out right now with Siri is cool but is not yet efficient enough to be used to completely control the computer. I think that systems such as Siri are very clunky right now and have a lot of room to be developed. I think that it is cool that Microsoft is getting into the voice operating system scheme because it will add competition in the market. In technology it is better to have more competition. Competition fuels advancements in the development of the technology and will help the voice recognition technology become more advanced. I also think that it is cool that the voice control system will be more of an assistant. Siri, for me, is just another way to Google things when your hands are not free. Cortana, on the other hand, is aimed at being a personal assistant. I think this is cool because it is going to help people make their days more efficient. If they want people to make a note for themselves they can just tell their phone to remind them of something at a certain time.  I think that this is a pretty cool feature and is going to help propel the voice activated technology world into the future, I also think that the voice recognition of Cortana is a step ahead of the voice recognition of Siri. This is good because it creates competition in the actual quality of the voice recognition software.

Overall, I am looking forward to the features that Cortana is going to bring to the Windows 10 operating system. It will be a great addition to the Windows Operating System and I think that it has the ability to be a very smooth addition to the operating system. If the voice recognition system is correctly implemented I think that it has the potential to be a large selling point for Microsoft devices. I also think that the development of Cortana is great because it will create competition in the voice recognition market. Hopefully I will end up being a great addition to the operating system and it will become a great selling point for Microsoft devices. I think that it is great that Microsoft is taking time to develop the voice recognition software. I also think that it is great that Cortana is going to be focused on being a personal assistant rather than an alternative way to Google things when your hands are not free.
