Sorry, India, you'll have to wait for Cortana in Windows 10!!

If you were hoping to use Cortana, Microsoft's voice-activated digital assisstant in Windows 10 as soon as you upgrade, here's some bad news: you're going to have to wait. Microsoft is updating the software with "strong local content", according to Microsoft India Director (Windows Business Group) Vineet Durani.


Microsoft, which unveiled its much-awaited Windows 10 operating system globally and in-built Cortana today, has held back from launching the Siri rival rival in India.

"Cortana will be made available to Insiders (developers with Microsoft) in the coming weeks and then later to consumers," Durani said.



People can use the virtual assistant to find data, track information, set reminders, etc.

"Cortana is not just an assistant. It understands the context and answers accordingly. It is not just about understanding accents. So, there is a strong localisation that needs to be done," he said.
