Cortana on Desktop

Dear Microsoft, I am a Windows user and enthusiast and love new features that come and go. There is a voice recognition service in Windows 8 and Windows 7 which is really helpful if it recognises your command. The trend for the technology users is shifting towards mobile so it is natural to develop the Windows Phone, I love it.

The thing I was wondering is that why we have no virtual assistance on our desktops? I believe it will boost the image of Windows 8.1 and really help bring people on the Windows Platform. Plus, it will be a great blessing for us.

Thanks.

    I agree.  I would like to see Cortana on the desktop.  I would like to see it synced with Cortana on all my devices so that no mater whether I was on my phone or sitting at my desk I could interact with Cortana.

    This would be a big differentiator between Windows and OSX and iOS or Android.

    Cortana on the desktop

    Cortana on the Tablet

    Cortana on Xbox

    You have the code, just open Visual Studio and port it to all platforms.  :)

    I also want Cortana and all her features functional on this desktop computer. Thanks.

    This is great news. I has shoulder surgery a few months ago and ended up buying Dragon NS to be able to work. It's very good software for dictation, but for controls and such, it's pretty lousy.

    What I would like to see Windows do here is launch it with a regularly growing set of commands and voices to choose from. The consistency alone compared to  Android should be excellent but if there's a good feedback forum where they can simply take user requests for commands and build them in and let users choose from a list to disable ones they don't want, that would just be awesome.

    Something else they need to do. They need to make it simple to differentiate between multiple machines. I don't want to be sitting at my desktop with my laptop, phone and tablet and say "Hey, Cortana" and have 4 devices suddenly sprout for attention. Right now it gets bad in my kitchen with Google Now as I have a Nexus on my refrigerator, my girlfriend has a galaxy 10.1 inch. I have my laptop, we all have android phones, and when someone says "OK Google" they all want to go off nearly at once. They are just off enough that they hear each other and it becomes a comedy of errors. lol
