[history]
SAN FRANCISCO — Cortana's learning the neighborhood. Google's digital assistant can't tell a joke. And Siri apparently has a thing for the metric system.
Those are just a few of the things I learned after staging a face-off between the three leading digital assistants. Apple's Siri and "OK Google" — they're not big on personification at Google — are now standard on smartphones; Microsoft recently added its Cortana service to Windows 10, so it works on PCs, too.

Asked Siri if she’s smarter than Cortana.
“No comment,”
Siri is being coy.

Cortana is a full time employee of the NSA. Siri works for them on contract.

Cortana is a full time employee of the NSA. Siri works for them on contract. Siri was asked but refused to accept the contract. Fact. The NSA is pissed about it.

I’ve dated Siri....she’s fast, fun and EASY. But she won’t tell me if it was good for her. So she is definitely coy. :^)

Oh well, I guess that rates a Windows ping, after all, Cortana is clearly the hottest of the bunch...
Digital assistant shootout! ... PING!
You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".
Thanks to Swordmaker for the ping!!

Gee, and I've been watching the Republican debate. SILLY ME! I could have been comparing digital assistants... I was multitasking. . . There were some comments by the soon-to-be-also-rans where you could safely ignore what they were saying. It allowed some time to post on FR.

Sound like Cortana won. Especially when the author didn’t even use the best feature. Try saying cotana next time I’m near a flower store remind me to buy flowers for my mom.
That feature is awesome. Has Siri our Google copied that yet
Oh you can get Cortana ok ios and Android. So we all win!

Siri is Cortana after a lobotomy. That’s how good the new Microsoft assistant is. If Apple was smart they would license Cortana from Microsoft.
