The vision of Cortana is clear. Microsoft wants to create an AI OS with much more personality than Apple’s Siri, eventually leading to the point where A) she’s a literal hologram that sits on your desk like in Halo someday (soon, judging by the announced “HoloLens” or B) you end up falling in love with her like in “Her.” Or both.
Cortana’s advice and guidance seems like it will likely be extraneous for all but a few users, unless she’s able to do some really, really complex things. So far, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
