Microsoft's Cortana appears in a major competitor's phone. Who would have guessed, only a few years ago, that such a thing would ever come to pass?

One of the worst things that ever happened was my Halo 1 PC-Edition DVD breaking.

Wasn’t this the killer app that was supposed to pull people away from Android?

I stopped after the third one. I heard at the beginning of the 4th one Master Chief holds a nuke in his hands while it detonates in space.....then falls to Earth surviving not just a point blank ground zero thermo-nuclear blast, but also re-entry and a terminal velocity fall into the ground.

Yep! Thanks for the link!
I saw that vid years ago, about 2006, one of the first Videos I saw on Youtube.
I noticed they shoehorned in some of the Lines by The Covenant to The Prophet of Truth's Dialog in Halo 3.

Microsoft Office app has been available for two years True, and of course one could also point out that MS Office and even IE were available for the Apple Mac more than a decade ago.
Nevertheless, the philosophy at Microsoft has clearly changed in a huge way since the replacement of CEO Steve Ballmer with a person who understands competitive markets and how to address them effectively. Ballmer's myopia only allowed him to operate in a monoculture; he was hopelessly lost in a competitive situation and nearly destroyed the company he claimed to "love".
I am very happy to see Microsoft acting responsibly toward the people who support and depend on them.

I watched it as an .mpg file when it first came out, Youtube didn’t exist.
I recall being extremely upset it was Mac-only.
