It actually does run locally with access to API's that you authorize. Just saying...

Interesting. Is it easy to "firewall" Cortana so that it does local voice processing and connects only to external services you authorize?

You can actually customize a large part of it and turn all of it off.

You can't firewall it off, but you can learn how it actually works and just turn it off.

> turn it off

For now. This crap is going to get a lot harder to avoid when the Intel SGX instructions are widely deployed and it becomes possible to extend the lockdown from SecureBoot to the kernel and kernel-authorized apps.

I suggest fighting it now, while it is still just an annoyance.
