For real, it was insane to drop Cortana. Halo-aside, it’s a great name for an AI assistant.
Deep lore, seems helpful, cute avatar, becomes evil? Yeah it's a perfect name for an AI assistant
And since Cortana isn’t a widely used name like Alexa, it spares a whole generation of people named Alexa from that inconvenience.
Subjective, but Cortana was great until they added ads.
Eff that, they need to bring back Clippy.
