Wait, are you telling me the geeks at Microsoft are kicking *THIS* hottie out of bed???

They must all be gay.

Windows 10 loses Cortana ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I guess Bob’s operation didn’t work out.

Windows 10 sucks so bad. I have to do five things to match the single action required in Windows 7.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I downloaded Windows 10 to my windows 7 laptop. It wiped out lots of good programs on it, and still thinks I live in Norway or Denmark. I am in the Ozarks.

Right after she defrags mine.

Most of the developers for Cortana are gay, or at least wish they were.

Seri and Cortana are just there to suck information out of you, then spew it back in advertising.

I have never used Cortana. In all new Windows Ten installations I remove it from the taskbar immediately.

Tiles.

Who is the person who thought tiles were a good idea? Who are the people who agreed with him?

[exDemMom]

Hmm, I didn’t even know I had Cortana.

I do know about Siri and Alexa.

I keep accidentally activating Siri. Once, when I did that, I said, “Siri, go away!”

She responded, “Did I do something wrong?”

[Still Thinking]

and Clippy was definitely a poofter.

I use to do Windows password resets. When a user got locked out while still online one of the indicators was an error message about Cortana when they tried to open up Explorer.

Alternatives?

Tiles are amazing for touch screen users. Some of us enjoy touch screens and tiles facilitate ease of use much better than trying to click a much smaller blade or link. Microsoft is committed to accessibility for their products. Try to think of features outside of how they’re presented to you. Many features facilitate ease of use or accessibility enhancement for the disabled and handicapped.
