Microsoft Windows latest: Cortana app out, adverts in
As we said, all of which makes the Cortana app redundant and ripe for replacement as Microsoft injects OpenAI's GPT family of large language models into its products.
We're told the standalone app support will be ditched in the latter end of this year. Cortana as a personal assistant in 2014 as an answer to Apple's voice-controlled Siri and Google's Google Now, having been plucked from the Halo video game franchise.Early last month, Twitter user Albacore, perhaps a persistent pain in Microsoft's side, reported that Redmond was toying with putting in-house ads in Windows 11's Settings panel – and shared screenshots of test builds featuring those very pitches for Microsoft 365 and storage products in the UI.
Again, we're not surprised by this development. Redmond has for months been spamming its own banners and promos here and there throughout Windows in hopes of getting more people to subscribe to Microsoft 365 or sign up for various products and services.
