    I can't think of a single moment I have ever willingly wanted to use it.

    So much for AI.
    But I blame the TV for everything.
    TV the drug of the nation.

    I never once used it. It wasn't much of an option for the Win10 Fin version.

    installed on window, immediately perceived by users as `how do i turn off this crap` didn't stand much of a chance.
    It could have been used on phones but MS let go on phones sooo....

    Too bad they are not removing this from Windows.
    It's just useless bloatware.

    Maybe it is time for Microsoft to actually learn something.

    btw I already uninstalled it through powershell.

    would be nice if they added an easy GUI switch to turn off bin search from start menu too... (already removed with registry)

    I can only imagine Cortana and Clippy sitting on a cloud talking nonsense to each other.

    Cortana was inspired by Apple's Siri. MS have a habit of copying what other successful companies do and think that it will work for them. MS Store is another terrible example copied from Apples macOs store. Originality was never something MS were good at.

    Cortana is one of the first things i turn off when i do a fresh instalation but i think MS is doing a mistake here because it makes sense to continue to use Cortana with their focus on AI, it`s a very good match.


    And they could do the same with Clippy, for those who want something less serious...

    nah, they'll probably change the name and integrate in further into the system. Politicians/Corporations don't under wrong, they only understand doubling down on the bad idea because they can't imagine anything they've ever thought of as not the best idea.

    They have already said they will put ChatGPT deeper into the OS... it replaces Cortana. Not that hard of a detective story here.
