Cortana integration in Windows 'Threshold' looking likely

Rumors have been circulating for a while that Microsoft is planning to incorporate its personal digital assistant, Cortana, into the next major version of Windows.

On August 11, those rumors turned up a notch, with Neowin.net reporting that internal "dogfood" builds of "Threshold," aka Windows 9, include Cortana integration. Windows Threshold is expected to arrive in the spring of 2015. A public preview of Threshold may be available this fall, according to my sources.

As is the case with Cortana on Windows Phone 8.1, Cortana will be an app, not part of the operating system itself, Neowin's Brad Sams said.

What i'd like to see is a way for all the pc/phone/tablets to know when I say turn the volume down on my Xbox One, or play music on my phone, or when I say switch music play to Xbox.

It's coming and it won't be long til we have it.

Just hope computers will be in better mood than HAL, I would hate to become Dave.

Perhaps the female digital assistants will have more sense? I want to be politically correct here.

Short skirts are not sensible or politically correct? I think they are.
