How are you getting on with it now that you've had a while to use it Terminus?

Cortana is very useful. Quiet hours being set automatically with only your inner circle being able to break through is great, quiet hours can also be enabled automatically when you have a calendar entry set to busy. I've used Cortana to send text messages, set alarms, show me scores for football, show me news, sport and finance information and show me new places to eat and explore and new apps. These only scratch the surface of what Cortana is capable of and I still have learned everything yet.

Cortana is also very extensible in that apps can plug into it to add functionality.

Hehe, yeah it does. Not as evil as you might think though, it just allows Cortana to know the people closest to you so they can break through quiet hours. For example, my mum, dad and sister are in my inner circle so only they can contact me when quiet hours is active.

Quiet hours is great for meetings, set the calendar entry as busy and Cortana does the rest. I rarely, if ever, set the phone on silent now.

I'll try it out as soon as MS get round to updating my phone 😞

I wish Cortana had the same voice in uk as in the US. I don't like the English voice very much!!

I take it you mean Jen Taylor who voices Cortana in the halo game series
