I believe there was a podcast on another windows website that answered that question.
In fact I am pretty sure Cortana, unlike Google, doesn't sell any metrics to third parties. Google does worse, and I have yet to hear of one story of someone getting stalked, sued, or otherwise thrown in jail for legitimate, legal use of Google Now/Cortana/Siri. Makes Windows 7, which I loved, feel.clunky by comparison.Īs for the privacy concerns. That is one feature that I sorely miss anytime I have to go back to Windows 7. And it's customizable too with some poking around. You would be surprised how many people I need to tell to right click the start button to get access to all the power user goodies. They make navigating the OS so much easier. For that matter Windows 8.1.1 worked fine too. It works just fine on my computers and I have had no issues with it.
