So, even if your PC is locked or sleeping, you could use it as a smart speaker type device.

Alexa, once a toolbar & spider we strived to get rid of... never forget

This is probably the most natural place for Cortana to be; a place where Cortana can answer basic questions. I'm surprised this has not been tried sooner.

I remember a very annoying paperclip that was a little less intrusive that these damn 'smart' viruses.

Remind me not to have my headset plugged in all the time...

What could possibly go wrong! ;)

I csn think of several much better places for Cortana and/or Alexa to be; but I'll get suspended (or banned) if I list them. ;)

Nay... Soon a legal requirement, to be in full operative mode 24/7, for reasons of national security and to protect the children. MPs will vote that sort of silliness in.

Please quit making new versions, stop for 3yrs and just FIX ONE. Every current version is broke...ROFL. VPN issues now? WTH? Windows either needs to DIE or slow way down with releases so they can actually get a launch that WORKS. Windows will lose us the second we get an alternative we can live with. We won't even blink. I have to add more apps to windows now than ever before if using 10 (replacing much of the basic OS functions, like windows explorer etc, notepad, IE (edge, whatever), etc). It is really bad when simple file management calls for a replacement product like xyplorer etc.

I feel like people that actually use Alexa have another more useful device to use it on.

Yikes, more spyware support. Windows is going increasingly down the drain in my opinion. I'm glad I run Linux.
