Sure enough, a little alert popped up while I was writing the message in the Mail app. For example, I asked Cortana to remind me to ask Avram about our Windows 10 coverage plans next time I email him.
I especially like that Windows 10 lets you use your voice to dictate both emails and reminders. Where the heck is Siri for the desktop, Apple? It remains missing in action in El Capitan. Cortana gets smarter the more you use it, but you can personalize it right off the bat via the Notebook settings. Like Google Now, Cortana provides cards that give you a quick glance at the weather, news, sports scores, restaurant recommendations and more. Special Features (15 Points)Ĭortana, a voice-enabled personal assistant that does more than just answer questions, is the star of the show for Windows 10. You can snap more windows at once, and you can automatically snap two windows at once. For instance, if you click on a link in an email, the Edge browser will load and snap to the right side of the screen. Another benefit of Windows 10 is the automatic-snap feature, a carryover from Windows 8.
