This report is misleading. Obviously the work of a blogger trying to put a spin on things - nowhere in the interview was it stated that MS was definitely considering bringing Cortana to iOS or android.

sniperwolf: There is nothing new that Cortana can offer

You couldn't be more wrong. Cortana allows you to block calls or texts during times of your choosing; just like a Do-Not-Disturb period. ( This feature isnt directly available on other platforms)
In addition to the different types of reminders (time, location) available you can also set people based reminders; you can have Cortana remind you about a friend's upcoming birthday anytime you type the friend's name in a text or email..
Cortana's personality is described by many as fiesty and fun, that's obviously different from polite Siri or no nonsense Google Now.
Even though it is still in beta form it can hold its own well in the company of Siri and Google Now so I don't think you should dismiss it entirely.

Windows 8 is disgusting on PC? Really? Is this a conclusion you arrived at yourself from first hand experience or you are just regurgitating comments from ignorant people?

Cortana is not an app, it is a voice assistant like Apple's Siri available to WP8.1 users.

As PC sales stall, Samsung exec has harsh words for Windows 8
With Windows 8 doing little to spark laptop sales, you can hear the grousing of PC makers get louder.
The latest complaints come from Jun Dong-Soo, president of Samsung's memory chip division, who had no kind words for Windows 8 during a meeting with reporters in Seoul.
"The global PC industry is steadily shrinking despite the launch of Windows 8," he said Friday,according to Korea Times. "I think the Windows 8 system is no better than the previous Windows Vista platform."

U fink u knw it all man? But u really know NOTHING, guess its u dats d ignorant one here
Re: Microsoft Considering Bringing Cortana To Android And iOS Devices by Nobody: 5:34pm On Jul 15, 2014
Kiggster: Cortana on iOS and android? Good luck with that Microsoft. IMO, cortana sucks. We have Siri for iOS. Robin,Dragon,Google Now,Speaktoit,S-voice etc on Android. Robin is my favorite BTW. y'all should check it out.
s-voice = suck voice. thats stuff knows na tin and e go dey chop ram
Google now is not intelligent. I gives u search result.
I dont know those orthers but a lot of reviews say "cortana is revolutionary" which means its the best ever

The Samsung exec you mentioned, Jun Dong Soo made those comments over a year ago sometime in march 2013 IIRC. That comment wasn't surprising given Samsung's half hearted commitment to Windows. Meanwhile MS has since announced that Win8 has sold over 200 million licenses so far. Even though that is still behind Win7 sales , 200 million is more than a decent figure for what you call a disgusting OS. Is Jun Dong Soo still complaining?

I use Win8.1 and I find it to be fast and beautifully designed and so I have to repeat my question: have you personally used Win8 or the update 8.1 to arrive at the conclusion that it is disgusting?

(PS: please type out words properly in English, reading your text-speak is quite difficult )
