microsoft virtual assistant Cortana
makes the jump from mobile to the PC
with Windows 10 you can use Cortana do
all sorts of things from searching the
web to finding directions or setting
reminders she'll also serve up
interesting news stories and be able to
help you find cool stuff that's nearby
to get all that done Cortana needs to
learn quite a bit about you so keep a
notebook so the details about things
you're interested in adding more
information all the time she'll also
scan your email and calendar to keep
track of upcoming appointments help keep
you on track and on time now if this all
sounds a little too invasive you can
tweak the information she keeps track up
or shut it all off altogether you've
been missing on a lot of functionality
and some great jokes though hey Cortana
tell me a joke did you hear about the
motherboard who ran away to join the
circuits ok so maybe the jokes are
terrible I'm Nate and that's Cortana be
sure to check out all of our windows 10
coverage on cnet thanks for watching
