Cortana is Gone.

Question

to who ever reads this.

Im not a savvy computer wiz kid. hell im old. I just found out you got rid of Cortana. Im still learning features and things. You sure know how to lose clients.

You do realize that there are people who are too old like me and dont want change as a constant. You got a new AI that is suppose to help and be all brilliant.

I for one, dont like it. I wish you would stop doing dumb stuff like providing a license and then taking it away. (like Cortana). Look, why cant you be like the other guys, they put out a product, and as long as there is a user who uses it, they provide the service, but they also innovate in making new products while sustaining the old. Eventually people compare and see why its better and they make the switch. It feels like a Porn Date, You know whats coming, you know whats better for you, but eventually a three sum might get you on the couch because your not invided anymore! They keep playing without you. Well, old timers like me feel this way when you all of the sudden take away stuff I thought I still had in my computer only to find out you changed it, and worse yet didnt upgrade my computer to give me something equivalent or superior to what I had. I know you guys can do better. Like me, shopping for another computer, with out your programs and gadgets. If you can make them, someone else can too. Well thats my two cents worth. We consumers cant tell you what to build, but we sure can show you what we are not buying.

Hi, see: End of support for Cortana - Microsoft Support

We’re making some changes to Windows and Microsoft 365 that will impact Cortana users. Cortana in Windows as a standalone app is deprecated. Support for Cortana in Teams mobile, Microsoft Teams display, and Microsoft Teams Rooms will end in the fall of 2023. Voice assistance in Outlook mobile and Microsoft 365 mobile will also end in the fall of 2023, however we will continue to support the Play My Emails feature in Outlook mobile.

We understand this may affect the way you work, but there are new and exciting ways you can get help with your tasks, calendar, email, and more.

Voice access in Windows 11: This is a new feature in Windows 11 that lets you control your PC and write text using your voice. You can use voice commands to open and switch between apps, browse the web, and read and write emails. Voice access works offline and uses advanced speech recognition to understand your speech and help you get things done.
