I must say, I haven’t found Cortana to be very useful.

To be fair, this is present on any Apple device as well. If you use Siri, you’re consenting to the same data sharing as with Microsoft here.

I turned off Siri, and I’ll turn off Cortana when I go to W10. While I very much like text-to-speech for text messaging, the “inconvenience” of typing out my messages outweighs the hit to my privacy. For the same reason, I have no webcams or microphones connected to any of my home platforms.

Walt Mossberg was on CNBC yesterday. He likes Win 10 but advised against installing it for several months until Microsoft gets all the bugs out. He said Cortana was very buggy.

If the information is there, it can be subpoenaed in a court case.
